The table below (in which many dates are approximate) shows the context of the myths as described by History and Archaeology and the times to which the mythical tales refer. The Minoan and Helladic periods have been established following pottery phases [for a detailed description of these phases see, for example, PETER WARREN, The Aegean Civilizations (Phaidon-Oxford, 1989), or JOHN GRIFFITHS PEDLEY, Greek Art and Archaeology (Prentice Hall 1993), for both the first phases and the following periods]. |
