Ebook: The geography of the Mycenaean kingdoms

Статья // In: A Companion to Linear B Mycenaean Greek Texts and their World. Volume 2 — Peeters, 2011. — Pp. 137-168."I hope in this chapter to have given an overview of geographical perspectives on the Mycenaean kingdoms of the Late Bronze Age Aegean. Beginning with the identification of place-names in the Linear B documents, we are able to use topographical data and archaeological data to reconstruct the political geographies of Pylos and Knossos, in some detail, and that of Thebes in outline. Equally references in the Linear B texts to areas outside the Aegean are suggestive, while references in eastern Mediterranean texts to the Aegean offer some insights into how the Aegean states were viewed from the outside."
