Bronze Age
The Bronze Age in Greece, spanning roughly from 3200 to 1100 BCE, represents a transformative epoch characterized by the introduction of metallurgy and the rise of the first complex, literate European civilizations. This era witnessed the flourishing of distinct regional cultures, including the Cycladic, Minoan on Crete, and Helladic or Mycenaean on the mainland, which established extensive maritime trade networks across the Mediterranean. The period culminated in the development of sophisticated palatial economies, monumental architecture, and the earliest scripts of the Aegean world.

Η Εποχή του Χαλκού στην Ελλάδα, η οποία εκτείνεται περίπου από το 3200 έως το 1100 π.Χ., αποτελεί μια μεταμορφωτική εποχή που χαρακτηρίζεται από την εισαγωγή της μεταλλουργίας και την άνοδο των πρώτων σύνθετων, εγγράμματων ευρωπαϊκών πολιτισμών. Η περίοδος αυτή γνώρισε την άνθηση ξεχωριστών περιφερειακών πολιτισμών, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του Κυκλαδικού, του Μινωικού στην Κρήτη και του Ελλαδικού ή Μυκηναϊκού στην ηπειρωτική χώρα, οι οποίοι ίδρυσαν εκτεταμένα δίκτυα θαλάσσιου εμπορίου σε όλη τη Μεσόγειο. Η εποχή κορυφώθηκε με την ανάπτυξη εξελιγμένων ανακτορικών οικονομιών, μνημειακής αρχιτεκτονικής και των παλαιότερων συστημάτων γραφής του αιγαιακού κόσμου.
