The basis for this book was a Panel Meeting at the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) meetings held in New Orleans in 1992. The published papers have responded to the very lively discussion that was a feature of that meeting as a whole. Contributions are: Art and Politics in the Aegean: The Missing Ruler (Ellen Davis); The Nature of Minoan Kingship (Robert Koehl); Divine Kingship in Minoan Crete (Nanno Marinatos); Palace, Peak and Sceptre: The Iconography of Legitimacy (Kathleen Krattenmaker); From Chief to King in Mycenaean Greece (James Wright); Aspects of Rulership at Mycenae in the Shaft Grave Period (Robert Laffineur); Enthroned Figures in Aegean Art and the Function of Mycenaean Megaron (Paul Rehak); The Nature of the Mycenean Wanax: Non Indo-European Origins and Priestly Functions (Thomas Palaima); Rulership and Trade between the Late Bronze Age Aegean, Egypt and the Near East (Eric Cline); The Iconography of Rulership in the Aegean: A Conspectus (John Younger).
