Review from previous edition This volume provides a comprehensive and highly readable introduction to the culture of the earliest attested state-level society employing an Indo-European language.As such it should be most useful for professional Classicists and ancient historians, as well as for the general reader.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review`Trevor Bryce is the most successful - and responsible - popularizer of Anatolian studies active today.An authority on the Luwians of the second millennium and Lycia of the first, he has already produced a highly readable history of the Hittites and has now presented us with a survey of Hittite culture.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review`Combining lucidity with scholarly rigour and displaying an informed and thoughtful response to the topic, this well-written book will be of particular value to university students and ancient historians.It deserves also to find a place in the wider market.' Times Higher Education Supplement`A readable and up-to-date synthesis which can introduce the wider public to the Hittites as a human society, the author has provided this in a masterly way ... Bryce gets behind the mask of the official records, and gives us the Hittites' inner thoughts ... thoughtful and informative book.' John Ray, Times Literary Supplement`The book is unusual in its avowed aim of communicating the essential experience of being an individual in ancient Hittite society. A vivid writing style sutis this empathetic approach.' Social Anthropology
