Can I get a quick rundown on the mycenaean religion?

>>2827401
Proto-Greek in many ways. Certain gods that later came to the fore that we know of from mythology either didn't exist or were marginal and other gods were considered more important.

>>2827403
Wrong, they were not proto indo europeans

>>2827401
>wants to talk about Myceneans
>posts Minoan ruins

Hmmm...

>>2827412
They were Greeks, their language was literally ancient Greek, almost identical to that spoken in classical Greece

>BBC the religion

>>2827412
You're thinking of Minoans. Mycenaeans were indo Europeans, pic related is Minoans.

>>2827401
It was Greek, I assume.

they died in the late bronze age collapse

It's complicated.
For example people thought Dionysos was an imported eastern god, but since the Linear B tablets mention him it means he was either originally Greek after all or at the very least had been imported almost a millennium earlier than previously thought.

Like others have said it was Greek paganism.

Some excerpts about Athena.

>In Mycenaean Greek, at Knossos a single inscription ??????? a-ta-na po-ti-ni-ja /Athana potnia/ appears in the Linear B tablets from the Late Minoan II-era "Room of the Chariot Tablets"; these comprise the earliest Linear B archive anywhere.[7][8] Although Athana potnia often is translated Mistress Athena, it could also mean "the Potnia of Athana", and thus perhaps the Lady of Athens.

>In the still undeciphered corpus of Linear A tablets—written in the unclassified Minoan language—a sign series a-ta-no-dju-wa-ja is to be found.[11] This could be connected with the Linear B Mycenaean expressions a-ta-na po-ti-ni-ja and di-u-ja or di-wi-ja (Diwia, "of Zeus" or, possibly, related to a homonymous goddess),[12] resulting in a translation "Athena of Zeus" or "divine Athena".

>In a Mycenean fresco, there is a composition of two women extending their hands towards a central figure who is covered by an enormous figure-eight shield and could also depict the warrior-goddess with her palladium, or her palladium in an aniconic representation. Therefore, Mylonas believes that Athena was a Mycenaean creation
