Mycenaeans about 1450 B.C.

Around 1450 B.C. the Mycenaean people invaded the city of Crete taking it into the limits of the Greek world. The boom of the Mycenaean culture fell on 14 and 13 centuries B.C. Magnificiant palaces of Mycenae, Tirins, Pylos on Peloponese, Athens in Attica, Thebes and Gla in Beotia were built during this time. The Mycenaeans also used the Minoan palace Knossos to gain power on the city of Crete in Greece. Echo of the Mycenaean civilization power is the tradition about the great journey to Troy that was later shaped by Homer's great 8th century B.C. epic poems.
