Question

Briefly explain in one paragraph, how geography, warfare, art and architecture impacted the ancient Minoan and Mycenaean cultures?

Answer 1

In art as expressed in fresco, pottery and jewellery, the Minoan love of natural forms and flowing design was likewise adopted by the Mycenaean artisans but with a tendency to more schematic and less life-like representation. That the Mycenaean civilization had trading contact with other Aegean cultures is evidenced by the presence of foreign goods in Mycenaean settlements. The Mycenaean Megaron was the precursor for the later Archaic and Classical temples of the Greek world and consisted of an entrance porch, a vestibule and the hall itself. They were well known for using what they had and making the best of it. They were able to trade well becuase of their placement, and they were able went missing (earthquakes, wars, or even becuase of invasion) in the time of dark age.
