Abstract

I agree widely with the analysis of v. Ungern-Sternberg concerning the development in early Greece, especially in the political sphere. Thus I see my task mainly in focussing the analysis more strongly on the subject of our conference and to include some additional material, especially on economic developments. Moreover, since v. Ungern-Sternberg has rightly drawn our attention to the influence of the Babylonians and Phoenicians on early Greece, it seems to be appropriate to complement this comment with an analysis of Sumerian and Phoenician developments.
