SOCIETY The people of Mycenae were ruled by a warrior aristocracy. Myceneans acquired most of their goods through trade and conquest. Society had a warrior attitude, which led to civil wars among their colonies.

CULTURE Mycenaean culture left behind frescoes and pottery depicting plants, animals, and myths. There is little evidence of written language and religion. However, elaborate tombs have been discovered shaped like beehives (Also, burial masks made of gold). Much of the Mycenaean culture was adopted/stolen from the Minoans.

DECLINE/RECOVERY Around 1100 BCE, the Mycenaeans were forced to flee Athens and abroad. During this Dark Age, their culture and traditions had to be passed through oral language. In 800 BCE, the Ionians migrated to Athens and spread their Phoenician Alphabet/Ionic dialect. The Ionians helped build ports and cities, which expanded trade again. Greece was reborn.
