Mycenaean And Minoan Kings
The Mycenaeans were great warriors, they believed they were the best in the world. They fought everyone, they used stone weapons. They won almost every battle. Unlike the Minoan Kings, the Mycenaean kings hoarded all of the money. They were the first to speak Greek, which is why they were called the first Greeks. As the Minoan civilization declined, the Mycenaeans took control of the island. The Mycenaeans attacked most kingdoms, because they didn't know how to trade peacefully.

    De Jong makes a similar argument regarding this. She claims that in 822, Louis “acted from a position of strength, and this was exactly the quality that his behavior must have conveyed to those present-certainly to the clerics. Instead of forcing him into obedience, the bishops followed his ‘most salubrious example.’” While these are all equally important arguments, it is hard to actually grasp the mind of Louis at this point in time. Yes, from the sources it appears that he really strove to be a good example of how a pious person should act, but it is impossible to actually get inside the mind of Louis. Thegan, Ermoldus, and the Astronomer all give him the epithet “the pious emperor,” this would suggest that he was, indeed, striving to aid the people in their lives.…

    The Minoans, in ancient Greece, were a peaceful, female-dominated group while the Mycenaeans were a warrior, male-dominated society. The Mycenaeans changed the Minoans myths so that it seemed as if women were the bad people. In the book Mythology and You, by Donna Rosenberg and Sorelle Baker, the Mycenaeans thought women were created to bring pain, suffering, and destroy mankind. The Mycenaeans did not agree with the Minoans since they thought that women were inferior to men. In all the myths, women are always portrayed poorly. The myths show that women bring agony to mankind. They appear as foolish, stupid, and gullible. The stereotypes of treating women as inferior to men, still happen today.…

    While the masses of the ancient Near East endowed us with civilization, the Greeks supplied it with forms and meanings that compel us to look to them as the ancestors of our own culture, Western Civilization. Greek ability and vitality spread in diverse courses. Notable portions of our math and science bases plus the concept of scientific research and the procuring of knowledge separated from any religious or political jurisdiction goes back to the Greeks. The natural principles of such Greeks as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle devised the bases for the way we observe the world today. Our art, architecture, drama, literature, and poetry are all substantially based on Greek paragons. And possibly most significant, our concepts of democracy, the value of the individual in society, and toleration of…

    Achilles and Agamemnon

    Although Agamemnon is the king of Mycenae, he is a king with great disgrace. A first example would be when Agamemnon dishonored Chryses, by not returning Chryseis to him. Because of this, Apollo started the plague on the Achaians. Many of them died only because of Agamemnon's morally unacceptable ways. Another example of his indignity would be that after the plague started, Agamemnon seemed like he didn't want his fellow Achaians to know why it happened. After he made the mistake of letting the plague happen, he should of have at least let them know, but it had to be said by Kalchas, because Achilles made a deal with him. When Kalchas told everyone the truth, Agamemnon was furious, when he should have been the one telling them first.…
