The last major work of the giant of the field. Martin P Nilsson set himself the task of tracing the elements of Greek mythology, as they appear in Homer's Iliad, to their source in Mycenaean culture, a much earlier period. His conclusions, drawn from a very limited empirical material - archaeology, very few relevant Linear B texts - are remarkably compelling.
