Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: "The Tiryns wall-paintings
At Tiryns as in the rest of the Mycenaean world, painters worked for the king (14th - 13th centuries B.C.). Large-scale wall-paintings usually represent religious ceremonies and hunting scenes. The former include processions and ritual bull-leaping, where the influence of Minoan Crete is evident. Wild-boars, whose tusks were used to make helmets, were a favorite prey for the Mycenaean ruling class, who used chariots for both hunting and battle. The participation of women in religious processions and hunts denotes their elevated status in the Mycenaean world." In this image: "Wall-painting fragments with a representation of a wild-boar hunt. Two women in a chariot watch the hounds attack the wounded prey in the forest. From the Later Tiryns palace. Inv. no. 5878 - 5882." National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
