Description
The Mycenaean World was a civilization that shaped the heart of Greek identity. Since its discovery in the 1870s, knowledge of this Bronze Age culture has grown significantly. This book offers a major new contribution to understanding this crucial period. Castleden explores the Mycenaeans' place in mainland Greece and the Greek islands from around 1600-1250 BC. The author delves into their hierarchy, economy, religion, arts, and sea empire, discussing their relations with other Bronze Age peoples such as the Hittites, Egyptians, and Trojans. A detailed examination of the causes of their civilization's end is also provided. This book provides a comprehensive foundation for studying the Greek Bronze Age, making it an indispensable starting point for those interested in this period.
