A Concise short history of Greece
Any discussion of the origins and formation of the Mycenaean palaces must
begin with the insightful studies of Klaus Kilian, especially his contribution to
the Strasbourg Colloquium of 1985 (Kilian 1984; 1987a, b, c, d; 1988a, b;
1990). He pointed the way for understanding the palace in the context of the
evolving socio-political structure of the Mycenaean state with appropriate
attention to the role of the wanax and, presciently, to influences from Crete
(Kilian 1988b).
