[Nikas777]

I think at this time Greece had settlements that were more akin to those found in Western Europe during the middle ages. You had the land lord’s fortress at the high point (an acropolis) and maybe a market square and temple complex and the rest of the people lived on small farms?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

That seems to line up with what I remember of Mycenaean civilization. Naturally there would have been considerable numbers of trading and commercial establishments.

[Verginius Rufus]

The Homeric epics are probably a mishmash from various eras--a few authentic details from the Bronze Age, but more from the later so-called Dark Age closer to the time the version of the poems we have was created.

The recent tendency seems to be to go back to the notion that the Troy of the Trojan War was level VI (not VIIA). The people doing the most recent excavations at Troy (since 1988) seem to be of that persuasion.
