13. MONARCHY(
2,000 B.C. )In the late Bronze age was monarchy.
The government system of the
Mycenaean was ruled by Kings
who monopolized, or acquired,
priestly functions. This means
that the kings also served as
the priests, which made it easier
the to declare themselves chosen
by gods. In a kingdom, as most
people know, the kings or in this
case, Wanax's were in charge.
They chose leaders Lawagetas
who were in charge of choosing
civilians for other positions,
and leading the army.
14. SOCIAL CLASSES OF MYCENAEA
CIVILIZATION THE KING
• Also served as the religious leader. His
power probably originated from hereditary
succession. This supreme monarch ruled
the state from the palace, he made laws
and determined the rate of taxes.
• Example : Agamemnon and Priam
LEADER OF THE ARMY
• His duties consisted in imposing the
order to the state and leading the
army in military operations. Various
craftsmen were employed under his
service. A different opinion suggests
that the Lawagetas was a kind of
prince with no military or other power.
• Example : Achilles , Paris and Hector
