The ages (592 words) |
 | CIVILIZATION, 1900--1100 BC A warrior cult defines the entire Pelponnesus; Mycenaean civilization is structured somewhat like the feudal system which appears later in the fifth century BC, most prevalent in the Hellenistic age when the Greeks created political systems larger than the city-state. |
| In 1100 BC the Dorians invade Greece from the north and the age of Mycenaean rule comes to a mysterious end. |
| THE ARCHAIC AGE 800 BC--479 BC The Age of Homer. |
| Minoan Pottery - Art History - KinderArt (743 words) |
| Around the year 1500 BC (there seems to be conflicting evidence as to the absolute correctness of this date, however, 1500 BC appears to be the most accepted to date) Knossos and many of the other centers of Minoan society appear to have been simultaneously overwhelmed. |
| Around 1450 BC, the Myceneans came to Crete and took over the administration of the island, rebuilding the palaces and playing an active role in what was left of Minoan life. |
| During the years following the great disaster of 1500 BC and the takeover of 1450 BC, although Minoan social, religious and artistic patterns seem to have been broken up, the arts and crafts of these people did not completely disappear (they were just altered slightly and added to by the Myceneans). |
