In Greek legend, Agamemnon, leader of the combined Greek forces, was king of Mycenae during the Trojan War. The Mycenaeans lived during the late Bronze Age in Greece, from about 1600 to 1200 B.C. They are called Mycenaeans after their capital at Mycenae. The period in which they lived (Mycenaean), in ceramic terms is known as the Late Helladic period.
The etymology of basileus is unclear. The Mycenaean form was * gÊ·asileus (Linear B : ð£ð¯ð©ð , qa-si-re-u), denoting some sort of court official or local chieftain, but not an actual king. Its hypothetical earlier Proto-Greek form would be * gÊ·atileus.
