In the Iliad and the Odyssey, the poet Homer mentions places, weapons, and other objects drawn from the real world of the Late Bronze Age (ca. 1600–1200 b.c.), the age of heroes in which the epics are purportedly set. Archaeologists continue to recover such artifacts from Mycenaean sites and shipwrecks throughout Greece and across the Mediterranean.
