They were very much admired by their Greek successors for all of the contributions they made, such as the architecture of the remainings of the ruins of their cities, which consisted of big structures with massive walls that they continued to worship and admire. Their values and political structure were strongly influenced by the Mycenaeans and because of that, they preserved their Bellic character.
