The Iliad and the Odyssey became their legacy!Together we will unravel the often-untold story of the early age of the Ancient Greeks and offer up some staggering conclusions based upon the most recent discoveries.This lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw" title="https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR1deliIGwpr9dPrGeHVWxdeOPe2d-Uh7GXzEKHnrWnG_VQks4MUHOlesK0_aem_ZmFrZWR1bW15MTZieXRlcw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903</a>Dr. James Rietveld is a professor at CSU, Fullerton and Cal Poly Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology, Religion with a PHD from Claremont School of Religion, is author of two books, and can be seen on History channel's "Crazy Rich Ancients."
