1987"Hans Wunderlich is a geologist who happened to be in Crete in 1970, when he took the opportunity of visiting Sir Arthur Evan's celebrated reconstruction of the so-called Palace of King Minos at Knossos - the legendary labyrinth where Theseus once defeated the dreaded Minotaur. This chance visit drew him into one of the greatest archaeological mysteries of all time, for one contradiction struck him after another in the 'established' interpretations of the Minoan culture. His geologist's eye found clues that the early archaeologists had missed, the technical man asked questions to which no-one seemed to have the answer. He soon concluded that what he was gazing at was not a palace at all, but something more sombre and perhaps even more significant. This book is the author's attempt to resolve the paradoxes that have obsessed the archaeological world ever since Evan's spectacular find." An interesting theory ."that the Palace of King Minos was not the bustling centre of gay courtly life but was, instead, a necropolis - a city of the dead" English translation by Richard Windsor. 368p. illus. diagrs. maps. bibliography. index.

2019Nel 1935 Ernesto Buonaiuti tenne un corso di lezioni all'università di Losanna come Gastprofessor, iniziando così un'attività che si protrarrà fino allo scoppio della guerra. In Italia, le sue conferenze ebbero a oggetto l'affacciarsi delle concezioni dualistiche nel mondo greco: Buonaiuti lo individua nella reinterpretazione, in termini di religiosità orfico-dionisiaca, della vecchia tradizione mitologica operata dai tragici greci; rielaborate, esse vennero pubblicate a Roma nel 1938 con il titolo "Amore e morte nei tragici greci". Tra i temi trattati: l'amore nei tragici greci (passando dalle Supplici di Eschilo alle donne di Sofocle); il dolore nei tragici greci (sia il dolore fisico sia quello morale); il rimorso e la morte nei tragici greci; la religione e l'arte (la religione blasfema di Euripide; l'entusiasmo e l'estasi in Platone e Aristotele). Introduzione di Carlo Carena. Autori: Ernesto Buonaiuti. Prefazione: Carlo Carena.
