Quote: The Homeric poems do contain several LBA elements but they mostly reflect an Early Iron Age society. Here, I will disagree with Dan when he undermines the "Dark Ages" (btw I really hate this term!).
It isn't my theory; I just agree with its proponents. There is more than enough evidence to suggest that the current chronology is wrong. The only contention is how much revision is needed. I have no problem with the existence of a Greek Early Iron Age society - only how it is dated.
