greek religions were populated by goddesses and gods.

Duh.

This is archaic, not classical. In classical Greece, there were very few grand tombs, except maybe for a few kings and tyrants. Bodies were cremated and buried in urns. If anyone knows better, tell me so.

In any case, it is a great leap from one example of grave goods to gender egalitarianism, not one that I would care to make.

Why does it prove anything or make a difference that they were brother and sister?

But a team of researchers testing ancient DNA from a high status, male-dominated cemetery at Mycenae in Greece believe they have identified a brother and sister buried together in a richly endowed grave, suggesting that she had as much power as him.

Or maybe they were married to each other.

Strangely, both of my sisters are Greek and by coincidence so am I! And they’re both bossy as all get out and act like royalty instead of the Lesbians we are. (The family is from Lesvos)
