“Artistic motifs and techniques from the Near East had poured into the centers of the Mycenaean age, and in the seventh century the event repeated itself; Greece was “Orientalized” for a second time. Many Semitic loan words entered the Greek language at this time, mostly for commodities and the mercantile process which dealt with them.” (McEvilley, The Shape of Ancient Thought Loc 932 Chapter 1)
