What theory did Wace and Blegen develop?
Helladic Heresy
Minoan Dominance
Mycenaean Supremacy
Cycladic Culture
Answer
The Helladic Heresy, proposed by Wace and Blegen, suggests that the Mycenaean civilization of Greece was not an indigenous development but rather originated from an influx of Indo-European-speaking peoples from the north. This theory challenges the traditional view that the Mycenaeans were a continuation of the earlier Minoan civilization.
