Talk:Mycenae
From Academic Kids
used to argue that later evidence shows that Mycenae did not come to dominate Achae and thus the term, "Mycenaean Civilization" is incorrect. But no evidence was shown and Marcus' "Building Western Civilization" (1998) says Mycenae did dominate Achae. Lir 10:59 Oct 24, 2002 (UTC)
Is this paragraph necessary:
- Mycenaeans worked as bakers, bath attendants, bowmakers, carders, carpenters, cooks, coppersmiths, doctors, foresters, fullers, goldsmiths, heralds, masons, messangers, oarsmen, potters, saddlers, shepherds, shipwrights, spinners, unguent-boilers, weavers, and woodcutters. -- Zoe
I would say not. It contains little useful information, none of which belongs in an article on a specific city-state.
What's the relationship between Mycenae and Argos? I understand there's some confusion between the two.
It would certainly help if there was a map!
[better map (http://homepage.mac.com/cparada/GML/MapAchaeansTrojans.html)] Mycenae just happened to be excavated first, giving its name to the entire civilization. therefore "Mycenea" is (a) a palace, and (b) a collective name for the palace culture. Argos is just the palace. dab 08:39, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
