...first efflorescence of the Western, as distinguished from the Eastern genius for civilization and the arts. The Mycenaean Age intimately concerns us, if we wish to do full justice to the traditions of culture handed down to us by our forefathers. This age was an early phase of modern civilization and in all respects was far more advanced than the period of the Greek Middle Ages, 1000-700 B. C. which came immediately after it. The Mycenaeans themselves had a long past to build upon and may therefore be called the Ancients of Antiquity, since like our own more modern...

This culture then and its initial stages, called the "Amorgan period" because this civilization of the Aegaean islands was first distinctly noticed on the small island of Amorgos, is best regarded as a local phase of the common Mediterranean life.

His story is not skillfully written, but is vigorous and full of life. The plot deals with the passionate and unselfish love of a native woman for a white adventurer. The story was, perhaps, inspired by Kipling's "Without Benefit of Clergy," but the author's development of the idea has many original merits.
