Early Greece

Question 7 • WCA - World History A

Today, knowledge of Greek culture from 1150–750 BCE primarily is derived from

Answer
A
oral histories that later were written down.
B
records written by ancient Greeks during that era.
C
records written by other cultures during that era.
D
myths written down by ancient storytellers.

Explanation

Few written records from Greece survive from 1150–750 BCE, so historians rely largely on oral traditions passed down through generations and recorded later. The Homeric epics are an important example of this kind of source. Thus, the best choice is “oral histories that later were written down,” rather than contemporary written records.
