A) This image give the impression to be regarding Mask of Agamemnenon (c-1600-1550 BCE)
and it drives to talk over the historic setting of the effort and link with cycladic as well as
Minoan culture
It represents the artistic enhancement of Henrich Schelimaan who exposed this “hammered gold
death-mask”, considering it to have its place in the direction of Agameon, who headed his armed
forces in contrast to Troy in the “Iliad of Homer”. There remains no established link to the
legendary hero yet.
Interpretation
The Minoan culture succeeded in the mid Bronze Period at the Mediterranean landmass of
“Crete since ca. 2000 BCE till ca. 1500 BCE”. Through their exclusive art as well as
construction, the Minoans had a substantial involvement in the expansion of Western-European
sophistication. The archaeologist named “Sir Arthur Evans” received information as regards the
probable existence of a prehistoric evolution on Crete by means of persistence of “engraved seal
stones” broken as attractions by inherent Cretans at the initial “20th century CE”. Digging at
Knossos as of 1900 toward 1905 CE, Evans revealed wide-ranging wrecks that long-established
the antique accounts, together the literary as well as legendary, of a cultured Cretan values and
conceivable location of the mythical “labyrinth” plus palace of the Monarch--Minos. Evans
devised the name “Minoan” in orientation to this fabulous Bronze Age Ruler (Michael and
Ruscillo 2014, 268).
The word ‘Mycenaean’ initiates from Schliemann’s detection of a “Late Bronze Period” of
the civilization at “Mycenae in Argolid during 1876”, as well as is applied to signify to the
civilizations of vital regions of central plus southern part of Greece. This looks to share some
customary representation of progressively comparable ethnic mannerisms at the later Bronze
historical epoch Cosmopoulos, (Michael and Ruscillo 2014, 260). The word stands likewise to
be employed more approximately of the cultural heritage of Aegean at “LB III (c1600-1200
BCE)”, counting Crete, who operated at the Aegean islands, besides the Anatolian coast, as
sufficient resemblances are ostensible for the persons to discourse about a traditional koine
within the land of the “Aegean – a Mycenaean koine” The communal insinuations of this
physically widespread national koine have been dealt with arguments extensively, with replicas

extending from continental expansionism to native strategies of competition. This interpretation
would have a preference to reexamine the practice of the expression ‘Mycenaean’ for this epoch,
observing at the creative elegances that include the koine, besides the geographic prejudice that
the period suggests It remained to be marked out that notwithstanding some chronological and
spatial distinctions, the koine stands categorized by notable standardization in addition to
dogmatism (Michael and Ruscillo 2014, 260).
B) The Bronze portrait illustrates the depiction of “Alexander the great” (Late Hellenistic -
Hadrianic who had a strong personality, a powerful appeal and leadership potentials, ca.150 B-
AD 138)

Summary
Alexander was born at Pella during 356 BC as well as “succeeded his father “, known as Philip
II and came to the power at the phase of 20 years.
Alexander the great was, likewise acknowledged as Alexander III or else Alexander of
Macedonia, died at June 13, 323 BCE, Babylon [near Al-Ḥillah, Iraq], ruler of Macedonia (336
to 323 BCE), who conquered the Persian territory, transported Macedonian weapons to India, in
addition to, positioned the foundations heading for the Hellenistic domain of provincial
monarchies. Previously in his era the he became the focus of wonderful stories, and far along
turned out to be the champion of a comprehensive legend behaving simply like the indefinite
relationship to his historic career. From the age of “13 - 16” he was trained through Aristotle,
who encouraged him by means of cognizance of philosophy, medicine, as well as scientific
study, on the other hand he advanced further than his teacher’s constricted principle that non-
Greeks ought to be treated like slaves (Guy 2015, 50).
Comparative analysis of “Mycenaean” and “Minoan” cultures
Minoan settlements and tombs as well as graveyards hadve remained in Crete with four standard
locations (as per magnitude) at Knossos and Phaistos, alongside Malia plus Zakros. There were
huge, intricate palace constructions with 2-3 floors covering quite a few “thousand square
metres” for indigenous executive, trade, pious and feasibly political midpoints. The places were

erected in two phases: first were created about 2000 BC and for subsequent disparaging
earthquakes plus fires, these were re-constructed at---“ca. 1700 BCE”. There were huge law
court, walkways, staircases, light-wells, and drainage structures, general stores for magazines as
well as ‘theatre’ expanses. The game and religious fervor with revered bulls and horns plus twin
axes in pebble and mural might altogether provide the beginning of myth of Theseus as well as
the Minotaur of labyrinth. It became widely held in traditional Greek lore. Primarily hieroglyphic
as well as next there were “Linear A scripts” discovered in structural clay tablets. There were
also vast storing jars and wafer skinny cups built with ceramics and pottery-craft. The
naturalistic representations of plants, florae besides marine life present their style of art
(Haralampos and Harissis 2009).
This exceptional equality of Mycenaeans conserved and fit for 200 years, remains apparent
most certainly in inscription of ethnicities, and the splendid paintings. Such steadiness and
standardization propose that the “Mycenaean koine” existed with the consequence of sensible
strategies of self-inclusion, somewhat than involuntary cultural procedures as initially proposed.
By way of the Mycenaean koine, it give the impression to relate to leading exclusive masses of
people somewhat than entire populations, it appears reasonable to undertake that the theoretical
identity interconnected through the koine’s flairs remains an exclusive individuality.
Nevertheless why did selected clusters of persons from diverse measures of the “Aegean
culture” choose to practice comparable vocabularies of rank in LB III? Then what existed as the
collective devices by means of which the national resemblances of Mycenaean koine could be
fashioned and sustained? (Pullen 2013, 237).
Though the symbolic practice of stylishness proposes a awarding superiority using the Aegean
leaders of “LB III” to bring into line themselves by a convinced uniqueness, it never constitutes
the unambiguous self-explanation which remains measured with respect to the indispensable
standard of individuality The Mycenaean koine in its place signifies the “indicia of
distinctiveness”. The indicia remain the obvious languages as well as communications of
characteristics; national behaviors which differentiate the communal cluster from others about it,
for instance, typical material principles, elegances, trendy practices and ceremonial procedures,
methods of formation of shared organization, as well as linguistic traits (Haralampos and
Harissis 2009).
