[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

The point in the source claiming that at the time of the war Greece did not yet have city-states, but only tribes seems odd. I thought that the war was during the Mycenaean period, when city states obviously existed.

The Illiad, of course ends with the death and funeral of the Trojan hero Hector, who is my favorite hero in the story.

[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?
