Both Heinrich Schlieman and Sir Arthur Evans projected their fantasies of bringing the ancient mythological Greek world into historical reality. Fulfilling this fantasy was their obsession. The upside is that they introduced great attention to archaeology, yet both did not find what they thought they had. This has affected the names of objects, monuments, and the entire culture in the case of Minoan. Should we keep these names? Or should we look for more historically accurate and appropriate names to supplant them with. When you answer, list specific examples like the Treasure of Atreus. Are there examples you can think of that have taken place in the last 50 years?
