Mycenaean Warriors

[Aryaman2]

Hi everybody
.
Forget the old theory that in the Iliad some of the elements are probably coming from Homer period.
mostly of this elements like cremations, iron weapons, proto-phalange tactics, cities described in the ships' catalogue etc... have been already proved, by archaeology, that were already on usage during he late Mycenaean period!!

Well I am probably outdated in my bibliography, as I still think Homer is not describing the Mycenaean period at all, would you like to post some of your bibliograpgy relevant to those points, especially those concerning cremation? and I mean here not only the existence of cremation, but the general use, as described in the Illiad.
For me, the more important point however is that of the political institutions, those described in linear B show a complex burocracy with a lot of titles of which there is not a single mention in Homer, he instead describes a much more simple and rudimentary political enviroment.
