Mycenaean finds throughout the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean have spurred many inaccurate assumptions including Mycenaean political or cultural supremacy. Mycenaean pottery on the Cycladic Islands, Crete, and the Eastern Mediterranean has led to claims of a possible Mycenaean hegemony or thalassocracy. Yet pottery alone is not reliable for determining the nature of Mycenaean interactions throughout the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean. This study proposes that the Mycenaean figures and figurines are more helpful in such an assessment. These objects were not commodities, thus their presence abroad was not a result of trade. They were ideological symbols and votive offerings, and it is often suggested that Mycenaeans inhabited the areas where they are found. This study reviews these finds on the islands of the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean, and, based on the local variations, distribution, or unusual contexts of these artifacts; it becomes clear that Mycenaean interactions abroad were haphazard and unsystematic.
