Heh.
I remember the first time I studied these art pieces...
I always thought it was interesting how artstyles almost feel "cyclical", as in, the earliest artwork were very abstract and stylised, but as time went on various cultures strove to make art increasongly more realistic, only to then decide to move "backward" after being exposes by artworks such as these.
It's really cool

My best guess is that the earliest bronze age was the period when the individuals who inspired the classical myths were walking the earth and doing remarkable things....guys like Herakles and Hyperion. Their stories got embellished and misremembered over the centuries until they were part of a religious hierarchy of gods.
I also believe that this can be said of the events depicted in The Mahabharrata, and that is all that remains to us from the earliest bronze age in both regions.
A shadowy glimpse of a long forgotten age....
That's why I dig history in all of it's disciplines, it answers the questions that it can.

This is great content. The Mueseum of Cycladic Art in Athens is small but incredibly interesting musuem featuring artifacts from the Cyclades islands. It was one of my favorite museums on my 2008 trip to Greece.
