About this listen

 In the grand scheme of things, you probably haven’t heard of the Mycenaeans. That’s okay, we all get that Ancient Greek democracy and theatre overshadows everything and all. The Mycenaeans were the people who lived in mainland Greece between approximately 1750 to 1050 BCE. They represent the first distinctively Greek civilization in mainland Greece. They had palatial states, urban organization, distinctly Olympian gods, and the first Greek writing system. This was the last of the Greek Bronze Age, when the city states of Sparta and Athens started to emerge. For full show notes, head to https://georgeelmer.co.uk/the-mycenaeans/ Resources and Links “An Introduction to the Ancient World” by L. de Blois and R.J. van der Spek (2019). Not quite as far back as the Mycenaeans, but a great overview of such a vast period of time none the less.
