THE DORIAN INVASION

B. Eder's study 'Argolis Lakonien Messenien: Vom Ende der mykenischen Palastzeit bis zur Einwanderung der Dorier' examines the transition to the Early Iron Age in the Argolid, Laconia, and Messenia. The main aim of the book is to examine the archaeological evidence and the written sources in order to shed light on a hotly debated problem of Greek history: the Dorian invasion. It is a brave attempt, but the evidence still refuses to fit a neat explanation. (Quotes from original text)
