    Wanax, I LOVE your videos on myceneans and Minoans. A small suggestion I would make is to make use of Peter Connolly's art, as he has made many great drawings of even the Greek myths in Mycenean attire. Nothing to add after that. I hope you continue making many other videos about these fascinating people!

    I always was taught that the use of chariots as battlefield taxis for elite warriors was a misunderstanding by the later, late Dark Age Greek(s) “Homer”, who first wrote down the previously orally-transmitted Trojan War legend. By that time, knowledge of the use of the true use of the chariot, that is, as a mobile fighting platform, was completely lost. There are many other similar anachronisms in Homer, like the mention of iron weapons, which weren’t really in use until later, not at the purported time of the Trojan War. Homer’s epic poems incorporate many versions spanning hundreds of years, but society and warfare had changed significantly after the collapse of the Bronze Age. They were writing about a society that they didn’t fully understand, based on the legend as repeated over the centuries in the bardic tradition.

    • @Rohilla313

      Are you sure about the first word?
      The Roman Equites is derived from the word Equus for horse. The Greek word for horse is Hippos.

    Very enlightening about the structure and nature of the different ruling positions as the title basileus became king and replaced Wanax as the dark ages took over. The palatial structures would have been overthrown, and the rural would have replaced the upper echelon.

    What I especially appreciate is your adherence to the data of the Linear B tablets. Well done, staying with the facts. I'm still not sure what the vassal-kings of the Wanax were called. You know the city kings under the Great King, as King Diomedes of Argos was under the Great King of Mykenai, Agamemnon. Would it be "basileos" or "lawagetas"?

    Very interesting.
    The Bronze Age Collapse is one of my favorite periods of (proto-)history: although many happily claim that the "sea peoples" destroyed Mycenaean Greece, that's a sloppy claim, especially considering that the main "sea peoples" waves (c. 1178-75 BCE) were led by the Greeks (Denesh) and must have happened soon after the Trojan War (c. 1180 BCE). The collapse of Greece actually happened later, in two phases: first the Dorian invasion (Greek dynastic dispute) c. 1130 BCE and then a mysterious wave that destroyed everything but Athens c. 1070 BCE and that correlates with the Berber (Meswesh) invasion of Lower Egypt, which in terms of legends only correlates well with the Atlantis narrative by Plato.
    "Sea peoples" would still be active later on, quite apparently, in places like Italy, where somehow the Etruscans (Teresh = Tyrsenoi) and the Sicels/Siculi (Sekelesh, probably proto-Phoenicians from Lebanon-Syria) arrived after the Indoeuropean (Urnfields culture) invasions, maybe even called by their former "sea peoples" allies the Sherden (Nuraghic Sardinians) and Weshesh (the Ausones of South Italy?, sing. Auso, which is not that different from Weshesh and were known pirates who often attacked Greece per the archaeological record).

    I think also that the late mycensean system of the last century at least was based on a complicate mutual diplomatic relation system that sounds like to keep good relations among the kings, and avoid wars, a group of mycensean petty kings are forced to mantain mutual relations (marriages, visits, alliances, common quests, like the calydon wild boar hunt, or the 7 against Thebes,) but with the trojan was they exaggerate, they are away from home too long, too many die, and at home someone plot to overthrown them, the system implode, and when they return home, they find a dying world. Ofc this is my interpretation of the myth, I m not saying that agamemnon, Menelaus, Achilles, Ulysses, diomedes are historical figures, but the evinronment, made of palaces, family relations, foods, weapons, visits, the political system, surely is based on historical truth.
