Orientalizing period

"There was not simply one ‘orientalizing’ period, there were several."

"Angesichts dieser Sachlage wäre es durchaus nicht als abwegig zu bezeichnen, daß man fragte, was im archaischen Hellas eigentlich nicht aus dem Orient herstammte."

"In view of this state of affairs it could not be called out of the way to ask what there was in Archaic Greece which did not come from the orient."
