Kingship in the Mycenaean World and Its Reflections in the Oral Tradition - Shear, Ione Mylonas

Motivated by the problems of defining the extent and nature of kingship in the Mycenaean world, this book surveys studies of the Linear B tablets, contrasts these theories with knowledge of the Mycenaean kingdoms gained from the archaeological record and compares this evidence with the oral tradition, specifically in the Iliad and Odyssey.
