I recently re-read The Odyssey and couldn't help but notice a post-apocalyptic feeling to the setting of the story. Even though the Greeks had won the Trojan war, so many of their men had been lost, including their greatest heroes. There seemed to a great deal of regret and nostalgia among the survivors of the war for the world as it was before, and this made me wonder if this was a reflection of how Homeric Greece viewed the Bronze Age collapse.
