The Preclassical Minoan cultures of
Crete are described as

There are also further

The Bronze Age of Greece and the
Aegean is split into three areas
HELLADIC (Mainland Greece) MINOAN
(Crete) CYCLADIC (the Aegean islands)
with Helladic being split into
Early 3200 -2200 Middle 2100 – 1800

followed by the Sub Mycenaean /
Minoan era and then the IRON AGE
Protogeometric 1050 -900
Early Geometric 900 – 850
Middle Geometric 850 – 760
Late Geometric 760 – 700
then there is the ARCHAIC 700 – 480
The Persian Invasion is the starting
point of the Classical era 480 – 323
The Hellenistic 323 – 146 is the age
of Alexander's successors up to the time the Romans took control of Greece. Some
scholars treat the Hellenistic as overlapping with Republican and Imperial Rome.
