Today in class, Devin was our teacher. I thought he did a
really nice job. We had a review of all the notes that we took during class yesterday.
Some more notes that a took earlier in the week are about the culture in
decline. Around 1200 B.C., sea people began to invade the Mycenaean’s and burnt
palace after palace. The Dorian’s moved into the war-torn region. They were
l=far less advanced and the economy collapsed. The writing disappeared for four
hundred years. This was known as the Dark Age. There was an author named Homer
and he wrote many stories and myths. Stories were passed on by word of mouth. The
recorded stories of the Trojan War in were the Iliad and the Odyssey. They were
written in 750- 700 B.C. Trojan War was probably one of the last conquests of
the Mycenaean’s. Odyssey was 12,110 lines of the dactylic hexameter.
