Today in class we took notes on the Mycenaean. These people controlled the trade in Greece and invaded Crete. Instead of killing all of the Crete people, they absorbed their culture and language. After these people kept on capturing cultures, they stop writing things down. Writing disappeared for 400 years. We learned about homer and how he wrote the two epic poems of "Odyssey" and about the Trojan War. Some of the popular greek gods are Zeus; leader of gods, Hera; Zeus' wife, and Athena; the goddess of wisdom.
