“Direct Egyptian influence in Greece in the 8th and 7th centuries isgenerally, and I think wrongly, minimized. Certainly many Egyptianizing

-John Boardman

“So, as there was no help for it, theysent messengers to Crete, to inquirewhether any of the Cretans, or of thestrangers sojourning among them, had
ever traveled as far as Libya: andthese messengers of theirs, in theirwanderings about the island, amongother places, where they fell in with aman, whose name was Corobius, adealer in purple. In answer to theirinquiries, he told them that contrarywinds had once carried him to Libya,
where he had gone ashore on acertain island which was named
Platea…They themselves quitted theisland; and, anxious to reach Egypt,made sail in that direction, but were
carried out of their course by a gale ofwind from the east.”
Herodotus iv 151, 2-3

“They could not fail tohave been impressed
by the scale andgrandeur of the
existing Egyptian stonebuildings. This
encouraged architectselsewhere to use morestable materials thanmudbrick and wood,and was the starting
point for Greekarchitecture in stone.”-John Griffiths Pedly
