Excerpt from The Material Background of the Earliest Civilization on the Mainland of GreeceAmong the discoveries at Mycenae there are large numbers of ani mal bones which may give us some clue as to the knowledge of domestic animals in Mycenean times. Bones of swine, goats, sheep and oxen have been recognized with certainty. In the case of swine archaeological evi dence shows us that there were wild swine in Ancient Greece just as there have been down to today. Tsountas Manatt conclude that the mountains around Mycenae were in early times clothed with dense oak forests and they imagine many a glorious hunt in their gladesl. But a fresco from the palace at Tiryns actually shows us the huntz. A large wild boar is being pursued by the dogs and at the same time stabbed with spears.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
