Description

What did a Minoan princess take in her luggage to go to Egypt? How did a Mycenaean public servant pass the time when he was bored? How did a centaur injure his leg? How did an indecent dance accidentally lead to the creation of Democracy? Which foreign slave became a wealthy banker? Why did Heraclitus suggest slapping Homer? Why do we call the Cyclades the Cyclades?

Archaeology, like antiquity, belongs to all of us. It is delightful, moving, terrifying, humorous, it inspires us and shows us what it means to be human in the entirety of our existence on this blue marble floating in the universe called Earth. Archaeology is a universally psychotherapeutic science. The many centuries of ancient cultural heritage in the Greek area often seem difficult to understand. They are not. Starting from social networks, Archaeostoryteller, a Science Communication project, "breaks the rules" and brings archaeology to the general public in a cheerful way.

This book presents the entire Greek antiquity, from deep prehistory to its end. Two strangers meet in an elevator, which stops between floors. One is an archaeologist, the other is not. Triggered by the question "what do you do," a fascinating dialogue and a journey through space and time begin. At the same time, answers are given to the most common questions about the science of archaeology. An enjoyable journey through the greatest moments and the smallest stories of people in Greek antiquity, which, even if it doesn't fit in the elevator, certainly fits in our imagination.

    Interesting but the dialogue was so tiring that I kept closing it. It could have been said in many places without some "silly" interruptions from the unknown guy in the elevator and then starting all over again

    Although my writing style seemed a bit silly, it is concise and covers a large time span of the prehistoric and historical period of our area. I would mainly recommend it to those who have many gaps and do not have much time available, as well as to young people.

    One of the best popular science books. In just a few pages, the reader is given the opportunity to explore the entire ancient world.

    Papakostas is the type of person who will tell you things historically as they are in the book. For him, there is no "we don't talk about these things" because they affect the image, patriotic sentiment, or because they supposedly promote patriarchy, phallocracy, etc. And ultimately, this way you reconcile with the past and place it in its real position, away from excessive idealizations and moralizing that lead to patriotism or demonization. So, an excellent scholar and writer!

    Excellent book! It presents antiquity in its essence in an easily understandable way! It covers everything that both young and old would like to know about the ancient world, adding unique details that make the book unique!

    A very nice book, in an easy style to be read by the whole family or with the whole family. The author tries to free the reader from fanaticism and intrigue that can be caused by a historical and mythical book, something that is evident throughout the narrative but completely clear at the end with the writings that were "lost" due to low popularity instead of being systematically destroyed in the fire, which is in great contrast to the historical aspect.

    I hope the second "victim" of it, the taxi driver, will be another book (at least) so that other things that didn't make it into this book can be written. Philosophical schools, historical and mythical events, etc.

    I recommend it to anyone who was intrigued by history and had gaps in their knowledge, but also generally because for me, this book lays the foundations on which the reader will build their future knowledge. Essentially, it is in the form of a dialogue, which makes reading quite light and enjoyable, and the reader can step into the shoes of one of the two speakers (the second being an archaeologist who explains things) without it simply being a mechanical narration of the story as it happens in many books. It delves into the essence of archaeology as a science, exploring various related topics.

    Okay, Papakostas is excellent. Even if you don't like antiquity, it will make you love it and then some. As someone already familiar with archaeology, as someone said in a comment, it won't add any additional knowledge. But... the storytelling/description style is entertaining and very enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

    It contains some valuable basic and non-information, but the writing style is predictable and the dialogues are staged, in order for the narrative to flow

    I was impressed by the presentation style. The events (most of them) have been written again, but the style is unique. I had recently learned some details from the author's podcast / TikTok. I have already gifted it twice and it has made a very positive impression.

    Well-written, concise in the language of the book that helped me organize scattered knowledge related to antiquity. And the FAQ section at the end of each chapter was very useful! We look forward to the next ones from the archaeostoryteller!
