Mycenaean Greece
Mycenaean Greece represents the final cultural example of the Bronze Age in Ancient Greece, existing from approximately 1750 to 1050 BCE. It was likely the first advanced Greek civilization. Mycenaean settlements appeared throughout Greece, Cyprus, and the Levant, and these early Greeks were known for cultural, literate, and trade supremacy over the region. Mycenaean Greece and Bronze Age culture collapsed simultaneously in the eastern Mediterranean, followed by a transitional period called the Greek Dark Ages. Despite little being known about this period, many famous works of ancient Greek literature are set during this time.
