Wealthy noble from Mycenaean Greece; possibly a king
About Enkhelyawon
Lived 1300 BC – 1200 BC.
Enkhelyawon (Mycenaean Greek: , e-ke-rja-wo) was possibly a Mycenaean king from Pylos in the 13th century BCE.
Enkhelyawon is known from Linear B records from Pylos. He was very important and owned great estates, including good farm land, a thousand grapevines and a thousand fig trees; he also had forty men serving as rowers in the fleet. Because of this it is assumed that he was a king - Mycenaean Greek: wanax; Linear B: , wa-na-ka; later Greek: , anax - and that he ruled over Pylos. But as kings are only mentioned by their title in texts of Linear B, it is not possible to conclusively prove this theory.
