Abstract:
This paper is about the introduction of the lion as symbol in the manorial system in myecenean greece. Theories were built on the archeological facts that shows a connection between Mycenae and Creta and Egypt. Early mycenean symbols of lions have an oriental look, so historians see an adoption from Egypt. Showing the integration of the symbol in the manorial system in Mycenae ist the main goal of this paper.

Abstract:
This paper examines the representation of soldiers on a painted papyrus from el-Amarna, recently acquired by the British Museum (EA 74100). Features include helmets and short-cropped oxhide tunics; these can be paralleled in representations from the Aegean, suggesting that the painting may show figures wearing boar's tusk helmets and Mycenaean-style tunics. This interpretation of the battle scene argues that the Egyptian iconographic repertoire included depictions of Mycenean features. This adds to the evidence for direct, rather than indirect, contacts between the two cultures.

Abstract:
Η χρυσή κύλικα µε αρ. ευρ. 2108 αποκτήθηκε από το Μουσείο Μπενάκη το 1939 και, χρονολογούµενη στους µυκηναϊκούς χρόνους, αποτέλεσε µαζί µε τα κοσµήµατα του «Θησαυρού της Θήβας» τον πυρήνα της προϊστορικής συλλογής του Μουσείου. Προερχόµενη από αγορά, άρα εξ ορισµού ύποπτη, δεν κίνησε παρά ελάχιστα το ενδιαφέρον του επιστηµονικού κοινού σε τέτοιο µάλιστα σηµείο ώστε να λησµονηθεί, αν και ιδιότυπη, ή µάλλον εξαιτίας αυτού. Υποψίες για την αυθεντικότητά της έχουν πάντως διατυπωθεί, αλλά µόνον ανεπισήµως. Η κύλικα έχει κατασκευαστεί από τέσσερα φύλλα χρυσού ενωµένα µεταξύ τους µε κόλληση, εκτός από το έλασµα της λαβής, το οποίο έχει στερεωθεί µε καρφιά. Από τυπολογική άποψη, παρουσιάζει στα επιµέρους µορφολογικά της στοιχεία αρκετές συνάφειες µε χρυσά µυκηναϊκά αγγεία, καθώς και µε κεραµικά δείγµατα της ΥΕΙΙ-ΙΙΙΑ1 περιόδου. Ως προς την τεχνική της κατασκευής της, είναι συµβατή σε πολλά µε όσα δεδοµένα έχουν συλλεγεί για τη µεταλ-λοτεχνία της Ύστερης Εποχής του Χαλκού. Τη χαρακτηρίζουν, ωστόσο, κάποιες τεχνικές ιδιαιτερότητες που σπανίζουν ανάµεσα στα αγγεία από πολύτιµα µέταλλα δεν είναι όµως ανύπαρκτες. Εξαίρεση συνιστούν τόσο ο τρόπος µε τον οποίο έχει προσηλωθεί η λαβή στο χείλος, όσο και η κατασκευή της από τέσσερα ελάσµατα. Επιπλέον, σε σηµαντικό βαθµό από τα χρυσά αιγαιακά σκεύη της 2ης χιλιετίας π.Χ. αποκλίνει ως προς την ανάλυση του µετάλλου κατασκευής της. Πρόκειται για καθαρό χρυσό, στην πρωτοφανή αναλογία του 98,8% µε ελάχιστα ποσοστά αργύρου και χαλκού, ο οποίος είτε συνιστά µια σπάνια εξαίρεση αυτοφυούς χρυσού, είτε ανήκει στην κατηγορία του εξευγενισµένου. Εάν ισχύει η δεύτερη υπόθεση, η κύλικα συγκαταλέγεται µάλλον στα κίβδηλα, δεδοµένου ότι ο εξευγενισµός του χρυσού φαίνεται πως λαµβάνει χώρα µετά την εµφάνιση της νοµισµατοκοπίας. Σε κάθε περίπτωση θα πρέπει, πάντως, να υπογραµµιστεί ότι δεν διαθέτουµε πλούσια βάση δεδοµένων µε αναλύσεις επί του συνόλου των αιγαιακών χρυσών.

Abstract:
This article is concerned with the aspect of pottery function in both the domestic/personal and the public/commercial sphere, and particularly with the function of the most common pottery forms current in the Mycenean period, with special reference to material from a group of four LH III B1 houses outside the walls of Mycenae (West House, House of Shields, House of the Oil Merchant, House of Sphinxes). The primary division being between open and closed shapes, the different forms are individually examined both through practical experimentation and through a comprehensive assessment of their structural elements (size, lip form, handles, base, fabric, etc.), as well as from the point of view of current potters' practices. Many of the forms have also been encountered in earlier or later periods, the conclusions being thus applicable to a much wider context. The final section examines the distinction between primary (originally intended) and secondary functions, as well as that between containers of dry or liquid substances, with a detailed discussion of the criteria involved. Finally, the entire corpus of vessels is divided into six categories, corresponding to their usage, with special reference to primary function.

Abstract:
The first substantial corpus of developed and complex stone vases emerged on the Greek mainland in the shaft graves of Mycenae (Middle Helladic III – Late Helladic I) and was certainly, in large part, of Minoan origin. However, a Mycenaean industry appeared in the Late Helladic III period, which suggests a link with Minoan technology. Indeed, there is an extremely strong possibility that expatriate craftsmen had gradually transmitted their knowledge to local Mycenaean apprentices. A technological study of a corpus of 24 stone vases from Mycenae, dated to the Late Helladic I/II–III, enables the identification and reconstruction of the manufacturing processes and techniques involved in mainland production. It appears to be the case that a great part of the Mycenaean know-how derives from contact with Minoan craftsmanship. However, if a large number of technical elements (use of tubular drilling for the hollowing process, production of the vessels in several parts) may come from a Minoan heritage, the Mycenaeans seem to have quickly developed their own approach – with their own technological emphases, serving purely Mycenaean forms. The vase, based on separately made elements, was a Minoan approach but became properly a mainland concept, which appeared far less commonly in other regions of the eastern Mediterranean. Similarly, the single-tool approach developed for the drilling process (for hollowing the interior of the vessels and for cutting the inlay decoration of the exterior), entirely based on the use of the tubular drill, is purely a native one and is uncommon among eastern Mediterranean vessel traditions. A technological study indicates also the possible coexistence of different types of organisation in the Mycenaean workshops. Thus, the manufacturing processes used, as well as the organisation of the production, are distinct from those of other eastern Mediterranean centres, including Crete.

Abstract:
In 2015, an intaglio gem was discovered in Pylos (Messenia, Greece) from the beginning of the Late Bronze Age with a scene of two warriors in combat. This representation is part of a group of similar images on seals. The analysis of these objects allows the suggestion that the scenes depicted on them are based on the same story/myth. This story helped to build the ideology of the Mycenaean elites based on, among other things, the use of violence in social life and set patterns of behavior, while at the same time linking the Mycenaeans living in different parts of Greece, especially in Mycenae, Pylos and Vapheio. Perhaps it had an epic dimension similar to Homer’s much later work.

Abstract The paper explores the relation between a set of poetic formulas in early Greek and Anatolian languages of the second and early first millennia having to do with the cosmography of the rising sun in macrocosm, and going up into bed in microcosm, with an eye to defending the reading and restoration έέρρωωιι δδέέππαασσ εειισσοομμββάάμμεενν(ααιι) in the editio princeps of the new Sappho. The Luvian word for ““sky, heaven,”” represented as a bowl in Hieroglyphic, is the likeliest source of the Greek word depas, Mycenean dipas, in the second millennium, together with the associative semantics of depas and ““heaven”” evidenced in Hittite and Luvian texts in the second millennium, and in early Greek poetry in the first.

Abstract:
It is now widely acknowledged that the Greek epic tradition, best known from Homer, dates back into the Mycenaean Age, and that certain aspects of epic language point to an origin for this type of verse before the date of the extant Linear B tablets. This thesis argues that not only is this so, but that indeed before the end of the Mycenaean Age epic verse was composed in a distinctive literary language characterized by the presence of alternative forms used for metrical convenience. Such alternatives included dialectal variants and forms which were retained in epic once obsolete in everyday speech. Thus epic language in the 2nd millennium already possessed some of the most distinctive characteristics manifest in its Homeric incarnation, namely the presence of doublets and the retention of archaisms. It is argued here that the most probable source for accretions to epic language was at all times the spoken language familiar to the poets of the tradition. There is reason to believe that certain archaic forms, attested only in epic and its imitators, were obsolete in spoken Greek before 1200 B.C.; by examining formulae containing such forms it is possible to determine the likely subject-matter of 2nd millennium epic. Such a linguistic analysis leads to the conclusion that much of the thematic content of Homeric epic corresponds to that of 2nd millennium epic. Non-Homeric early dactylic verse (e.g. the Hesiodic corpus) provides examples of both non-Homeric dialect forms and of archaisms unknown from Homer. This fact, it is argued, points to the conclusion that the 2nd millennium linguistic heritage of epic is evident also from these poems, and that they are not simply imitations of Homer, but independent representatives of the same poetic tradition whose roots lie in the 2nd millennium epic.

Abstract:
The present research was conducted. with the aim of better understanding of Linear B texts through the help of the Near Eastern parallels. The method chosen was the comparison between individual texts and groups of texts and not between the 'models' reconstructed for this or that society. Several restrictions for such a comparison were set up. The comparison itself was limited to the problems of manpower (lists of personnel, ration lists, land-surveys). The best parallels for Mycenaean records of work-teams (male and female) were found among the Sumerian documents from the period of the Third Dynasty of Ur, for the quotas of conscripts from specific villages - in Ugarit, and for the texts dealing with the land tenure and the organisation of the cultic personnel - among the Hittite cuneiform texts and Luwian hieroglyphic Kululu lead strips. The attempt was made to reconstruct the structure of the productive population in Mycenaean Greece and to find its place among other societies of the Ancient World.

Abstract:
In the years around 1500 BC Crete experienced not just massive economic changes but very significant political changes. The arrival of a Greek dynasty on the island occurred around the time that many settlements such as Arkhanes were abandoned; Knossos alone survived among the great palaces, and one Minoan site after another was destroyed. Earthquakes and fires have been blamed; so too have invaders from Greece. Since no one really knows who was to blame, clever attempts have been made to integrate the explanations with one another, and to argue that the Greeks took advantage of chaos within Crete to seize charge; or perhaps the Cretans were in need of strong leaders who would take charge, and turned to the Greeks. Unarguably, though, Minoan Crete was drawn into the developing world of the Mycenaean Greeks. An area which had been of relatively minor importance in the trade networks of the Early and Middle Bronze Age now became the focus of political and possibly commercial power in the Aegean: the great centres of Mycenaean culture and power were a line of settlements along the edges of eastern Greece, and a little way inland, from Iolkos (Volos) in the north, through Orchomenos, Thebes, Mycenae, Tiryns, and down to Pylos in the south-west. Early signs of success were already visible in the early fifteenth century, when the kings of Mycenae were laid to rest in Grave Circle A (as it has come to be known), their faces covered by masks of hammered gold that seem to copy their bearded features, and which suggest an attempt to imitate the infinitely grander gold masks of the buried Pharaohs. Still, Mycenae ‘rich in gold’ retained its special role and reputation. By the twelfth century BC, if we are to believe the evidence of Homer’s ‘Catalogue of Ships’ (an archaic text incorporated in the Iliad), these statelets generally recognized as their leader the wanax or ruler of Mycenae. Descriptions of the Minoans merge imperceptibly with accounts of the Mycenaeans.

Abstract:
Achaea, in the Northwest Peloponnese, is an integral part of the Mycenaean world and in the early Mycenaean period went through the same evolutionary processes as the rest of the Myceneaen world. We witness settlement growth and the rise of local elites who manifest their status in stone built and richly furnished tombs, particularly in Western Achaea. In LH IIB the building of tholos tombs reveals the existence of local principalities in Western Achaea, while a hoard of metal vases and weapons permits us to speak of a high status warrior’s burial. This early floruit comes to an end at the beginning of the Palatial period, as the destruction levels in settlements and the plundering of tholos tombs testify. Chamber tomb cemeteries are introduced in LH IIB, starting in Eastern Achaea and prevail all over Achaea in the palatial and postpalatial era.

Abstract:
From 2006 to 2008 The Canadian Institute in Greece sponsored the excavation of a Mycenaean chamber tomb cemetery at Ayia Sotira near Koutsomodi in the Nemea Valley. The five modest tombs excavated by the project were undoubtedly associated with the nearby settlement of Tsoungiza, and offer a picture of the mortuary practices associated with this settlement. The practices at Ayia Sotira describe both local funerary customs and more generally “Mycenaean” ones observable throughout Mainland Greece and the Aegean. Explanations for the local character are found in the economic conditions of the nearby settlement, in the local geology, and presumably local customs. These were documented through careful recovery of the stratigraphy and contents of the tombs, including paleobotanical, phytolith, organic residue, and micromorphological analysis. The remarkable similarity of these tombs and their contents to those excavated at neighboring Zygouries confirm the local character of chamber tomb inhumation. Yet comparison with other chamber tomb cemeteries, notably nearby Aidonia, but also with examples in the Corinthia, Argolid, and elsewhere, demonstrate the general features of a common “Mycenaean” practice. Overall, burial practices in the chamber tombs at Ayia Sotira fits our reconstruction of the inhabitants of Tsoungiza being incorporated into a social and political system dominated by the inhabitants of Mycenae during the LH IIIA2–B periods.

Abstract:
The Mycenaean cemetery of Deiras has enjoyed relatively little attention by Aegean scholars. This is mainly due to the rather modest character of its contents, which does not favor quantitative analysis of “wealth” and “status” differences among individuals. Based on the assumption that mortuary patterns “mirror” social structure, such approaches have been extensively used to analyze social complexity and “explain” state-formation processes in Mycenaean Greece. Recent theoretical discussions, however, have demonstrated the limitations of such reflexive approaches. Funerals are now seen as dynamic fields of social performance and negotiation, which may skew rather than “reveal” intergroup relations. To understand their importance, one needs to examine them within their specific context, i.e., in dialogue with what preexisted, not what followed. In this chapter, we apply such an approach on the Mycenaean cemetery of Deiras. First we examine the gradual development of the cemetery in the context of Argos and how it related to other burial grounds and the settlement of the site. Then we attempt a comparative examination with other Mycenaean cemeteries of the Argolid. It is suggested that LH IIB/IIIA1 was the period of most intense deposition of valuables in Argolic graves, and the stage during which a number of typically “Mycenaean” practices and symbolisms were standardized. This raises the question whether one should look at this period, rather than the much more diverse LH I–IIA, for the rise of a common code of funerary behavior, which used exclusive ritual performances in the entrances of the tombs and the disposal of material acquisitions as basic indices of social identity. This may have had wider repercussions: the distribution of valuables in LH IIB/IIIA1 suggests that it was during this period when Mycenae acquired a special role as a major re-distributive centre in the Argolid.
