Cyprus

After the fall of Knosós the island of Cyprus began to prosper, developing a mature Mycenaean culture. It appears to have been colonised by Greeks. There were strong trade connections between Mycenae and Cyprus. It is likely that Cyprus imported pottery from Mycenae. Trade connections extended into Asia Minor. Greek merchants had residences in the Syrian city of Ugarit (Ras Shamra). One piece of evidence for this found at Ugarit is an ivory lid with a goddess (or female figure) flanked by goats and wearing a Mycenaean looking skirt.
