Detailed explanation-1: -The term Greek Dark Ages refers to the period of Greek history from the end of the Mycenaean palatial civilization, around 1100 BC, to the beginning of the Archaic age, around 750 BC.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Dark Age was a transitional period between the fall of Mycenaean Greece of the Bronze Age, and Archaic Greece of the Iron Age. This period is called the Dark Age because the palaces that ruled the Mycenaean age collapsed, and with them fell civilization in mainland Greece.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Greek Dark Ages was a time period when the Dorians ruled the people who lived scattered across the Greek peninsula. One reasons we know so little about this period in history is that the Dorians did not have a written language. The Dorians were not into art or music or literature. The Dorians were into war.
Detailed explanation-4: -The period following the end of Mycenaean Greece, c. 1100–800 BC, is generally termed the “Greek Dark Ages".
Detailed explanation-5: -During their reign in Greece, the art of writing was lost. There were no written records for 400 years. History was passed on by oral tradition. For this reason, historians often refer to the age of the Dorians as the “dark age” of Greece.
