Description
Geographical setting,
natural features and
resources of
Mycenaean Greece
- Very mountainous country -
Greek mountains do not lie in the
centre of the land, but pucker the
whole country into valleys and
mountains from the southern
coastline of the Peloponnese to
the plains of Thessaly in the
north
- In Bronze Age times such
geography (mountains and
valleys) was suitable for the
growth of Mycenean centres
within the valleys
- Greece: Mediterranean climate -
hot and dry in summer and cold
and snowy in winter. Rains come
in autumn and spring (more so in
spring than Autumn)
- Mycenae lies close to the sea-
fishing and seafaring was a big
part of Greek life. With
mountains blocking the way
between valleys, sea transport
became an important feature of
Greek life. Mycenaeans fleets
are mentioned in Homer's
Illiad.
