The Dark Ages, following the collapse of the Mycenaean civilisation in the 12th Century BCE.
The period from 1100 BC to 750 BC is often referred to as the "Dark Ages" primarily because of the significant decline in cultural and economic activity in ancient Greece following the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization. During this time, there was a lack of written records, leading to limited historical knowledge about the era. The population decreased, trade dwindled, and many aspects of the sophisticated Mycenaean culture were lost, resulting in a general obscurity in historical narrative. This period ended with the emergence of the Archaic period, marked by the revival of writing and the establishment of city-states.
The Dorian Age, often referred to as the Dark Age of Greece (circa 1100-800 BCE), is considered "dark" due to the significant decline in cultural and economic activity following the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization. During this period, there was a loss of literacy, reduced trade, and a lack of monumental architecture, leading to a scarcity of historical records. The social structure fragmented, and many regions experienced population decline and ruralization, resulting in a general sense of stagnation and obscurity in comparison to the preceding Mycenaean era.

The skill of writing in Mycenaean society, primarily represented by Linear B script, likely disappeared due to the collapse of the Mycenaean civilization around 1200 BCE. This collapse was caused by a combination of factors, including invasions, internal strife, and natural disasters, leading to the breakdown of centralized political structures. As trade networks declined and literacy became less essential, the knowledge of writing faded, contributing to the subsequent period known as the Greek Dark Ages, where written records were scarce.

The Mycenaean period, late 2nd Millennium BCE.
The Mycenaean civilization flourished during the period roughly between 1600 BC, when Helladic culture in mainland Greece was transformed under influences from Minoan Crete, and 1100 BC, when it perished with the collapse of Bronze-Age civilization in the eastern Mediterranean. The collapse is commonly attributed to the Dorian invasion, although other theories describing natural disasters and climate change have been advanced as well. The major Mycenaean cities were Mycenae and Tiryns in Argolis, Pylos in Messenia, Athens in Attica, Thebes and Orchomenus in Boeotia, and Iolkos in Thessaly. In Crete, the Mycenaeans occupied Knossos. Mycenaean settlement sites also appeared in Epirus, Macedonia, on islands in the Aegean Sea, on the coast of Asia Minor, the Levant, Cyprus and Italy.Mycenaean artifacts with Linear B inscriptions have been also found as far away as Germany Mycenaean swords as far away as Georgia in the Caucasus and Mycenaean bronze double axes and other objects dating from 13th century BCE have been found in Ireland and in Wessex and Cornwall in England.
The Mycenaeans most often sailed in the Aegean Sea. This body of water, located between the Greek mainland and the coast of Asia Minor, was crucial for trade, cultural exchange, and military expeditions during the Mycenaean period. The Aegean Sea facilitated connections between various Greek islands and the mainland, contributing to the Mycenaean civilization's maritime prowess.
