	Dorian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beginning about 1150 BC, there was much destruction in the Peloponnessus, Crete and other places throughout the Mediterranean, involving the destruction of the Bronze Age Mycenaean civilization and the beginning of the Greek Dark Ages.
		The written record for this period is nonexistent, due to the abandonment of the Linear B script.
		Traditionally, this has been attributed to an invasion by the Dorians, but more recently, there is evidence that they migrated south into the Peloponnessus and the Agean during the Dark Ages instead of invading at the beginning of this period.

	Greek Mycenaean language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The only source of its studies is the Linear B script invented on Crete in the 14th century BC, and later spread to the continental Greece.
		Inscriptions written in Linear B were found in Mycenae and other towns in Peloponnessus, but for a long time were considered a pre-Hellenic language.
		In the beginning of this century Ventris and Chadwick managed to decipher the syllabic alphabet, and stated that it was used by Hellenic speakers.

	The Greek Revolution and the Greek State
		Because the Morea or Peloponnessus was rather poor, in 1800 only 40,000 Turks lived there among 360,000 Greeks.
		Rich shipowners on the island of Hydra, prosperous merchants, high officials in the Orthodox Church, tax-farmers, Phanariot hospodars in Romania, primates in the Peloponnessus and members of the interpreters' service all had much to lose and little to gain by political adventures.
		One was the Peloponnessus, where a core group of klephts and primates supported the plot.

		The city lay at the northern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Eurotas.
		The site was strategically sited, guarded from three sides by mountains, controlling the routes by which invading armies could penetrate Laconia and the southern Peloponnessus via the Langhda Pass over Mt Taygetus.
		At the same time, its distance from the sea—Sparta is 27 miles from its seaport, Gythium—made it difficult to blockade.

		The Pylians, who command the southern half of Peloponnessus, are the servants of Poseidon, who gives them an advantage in naval technology and cavalry.
		The Argives control an irregular chunk of land around Argos, smack in the middle of the map.
		The Arcadians govern the rest of Peloponnessus (along with isolated territory in the isthmus), and worship Demeter.

	HERACLIDES, Greek Mythology Link.
		It took them three generations to achieve this conquest.
		The HERACLIDES claimed power in the Peloponnesus because they were descended, through Heracles 1, from Perseus 1, founder of Mycenae, while Tisamenus 2, who at the time ruled the Peloponnessus, was a Pelopid (descendant of Pelops 1) [see also Pelopides].
		After the death of Heracles 1, his sons were pursued by Eurystheus, and having come to Athens, they claimed protection.

		Corinth was in a natural location for a commercial center.
		Remember the shape of Greece: there is a very narrow land bridge connecting the southern part of Greece -- the Peloponnessus -- with the northern part of Greece.
		This land bridge is only 4-7 miles wide.
