Lesbos of the Late Bronze Age as a Cultic Center (according to written sources)
The evidence of the written sources both of the Hittite documents synchronous to the described events and the tradition of the Mycenaean leaders’ visits of Lesbos preserved in the narrative of the later Greek authors is analyzed in the article. As a result the obtained information testifies to the fact that Lesbos during the Late Bronze Age was famous as a cultic centre.
