	The Myceneans
		The Greeks of this age are the Myceneans proper; for four centuries their culture thrived until it crumbled into the emptiness of history.
		For the Mycenean age found its voice in the poetry of Homer in a single defining event: the Mycenean war against Troy, a city in Asia Minor.
		The most famous of the Mycenean raids, of course, is the war against Troy, a wealthy commercial city on the coast of Asia Minor.

	myceneans
		As opposed to the Minoans on Crete and the islands in the Aegean, the Myceneans were primarily based on the mainland of Greece and the Peloponnese.
		One thing the Myceneans did not copy or adapt from the Minoans was their skill in metalwork, especially inlay on swords or dagger blades.
		The Myceneans also had a system of writing, adapted from Minoan Linear A, called Linear B. It has been preserved on clay tablets baked when several of the palaces were destroyed by fire.

	The Myceneans
		Most of the cities were eventually destroyed, and all the great craftsmen of the Mycenean cities faded away when society could no longer support them.
		Later Greeks believed this to be the case: in Greek history and legend, the Dorians were a barbaric northern tribe of Greeks who rushed down into Greece and wrested control over the area.
		Not only are the two epic poems of Homer windows into the distant Mycenean past and into the darkness of the Greek Middle Ages, they are the defining moment in Greek culture; for the Greeks will turn to these poems throughout their history to define themselves culturally, politically, and historically.

	Minoan civilization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This may have led to a conquest by the Myceneans.
		The Myceneans probably lacked the skills to manage a large trading empire.
		The impact of the Thera eruption on the Minoan civilization is still controversial.

	Rise of Myceneans (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Myceneans occupied the city of Mycenea, which eventually became a major trading center in the Aegean.
		This was evidenced by the Mycenean records, written in Linear B (a language based directly upon Linear A).
		What remains obvious from such a controversy is that too little is known of Minoan Crete due to the language barrier and the controversy which shall perhaps remain until Linear A is translated.
