Document Summary
After their destruction, the cult centres ay mycenae and other major sites were not rebuilt. Exception of tiryns, as well as some smaller centres in the cyclades and crete: new shrine constructed in the lower citadel. Destruction of the palaces had an impact on the way religion as practiced. No longer palace-controlled, becomes more community focused. Collapse marked a period of steel decline and slow recovery that lasted until the 8th century. Greece recovers primarily through the ruse of the polis. Low point in reek history, for which almost nothing remains especially anything associated with religion. Loss of monumental stone buildings, writing, bronze technology, and initially trade with the east. At the beginning of the da, cult activities and rituals took place in the open air. Evidence of more complex cult activity re-appears in the tenth century, but in a limited capacity: ex. Kato symi and kommos on crete, kalapodi in central greece.
