Summary

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. National Archaeological Museum of Athens. Text: museum label.
