Achaean (Ancient Greek (culture or style), Aegean periods, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Nationality, culture, and style of one of the four major divisions of the ancient Greek people, along with the Aeolians, Doric, and Ionians. The area of historical Achaea, comprising a strip of land between the gulf of Corinth in the north and Elis and Arcadia in the south, containing twelve cities that leagued together prior to the Roman conquest in 146 BCE. As identified in Homer, the culture earlier was more broadly dispersed in the area basically comprising the Mycenaean civilization of the 14th-13th centuries BCE. Thus some scholars identify the culture as synonymous with the Mycenaean, while others believe Achaeans held power in the Mycenaean world only for a few generations. The Achaeans of the northern Peloponnese in historic times were believed by Herodotus to be descendants of these earlier Achaeans.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Nationaliteit, cultuur en stijl van een de vier oud-Griekse hoofdvolkeren, samen met de Eoliërs, de Doriërs en de Ioniërs. Het gebied van het historische Achaea, een strook land tussen de Golf van Korinthe in het noorden en Elis en Arcadië in het zuiden, omvatte twaalf steden die vóór de Romeinse verovering in 146 v.Chr. een bond vormden. Bij Homerus is te lezen dat de cultuur eerder wijder verspreid was in het gebied van de Myceense beschaving van de 14e en 13e eeuw v.Chr. Daarom beschouwen sommige wetenschappers de cultuur als synoniem met de Myceense, terwijl andere denken dat de Achaeërs slechts enkele generaties lang aan de macht waren in de Myceense wereld. De Achaeërs van de noordelijke Peloponnesos waren volgens Herodotus afstammelingen van deze vroege Achaeërs. |
