A) I've got news for you; there is, literally, a diffent dilect of greek per-region, spartas(laceadaemon) dilect differd from Argos(the Argolid), and Argos's differd from the Theban, and so on
B)Athens is an established Mycenaean(Achaean) city center, accroding to severale(recent) histories
C)Athens identifies itself as Ionain
D)the root "Achea" is used in in the name of diffent regions in greece from Elis all the way up to vale of tempe, just north of thessally;
such region include-
Achaea, in the northern peloposse
Echinades, i island chain near the ulf of corinth
Trachis, the region in which Thermopylae is located
Achaea Orphthiotis, on the gulf of Pagasae, near iolcus
Acharinia, on the adriatic sea
now the point of this information- first off, i contest that the Mycenaean were descendents of the sea people, i think they WERE the sea people, raiding only after some sort of theorized economic collaps forced them to, and mapping the region names on a map of greece shows, or at least what can be itterpereted as, a generale "migration" from the north adriatic sea region, a region which, i might add, has no historic connection with sea people, or major piraticle activity during this time
Also, when you look at gracian mythology, the slaying of the minotaur, by theseus of Athens, seems an allusion to the Myceanean conquest of Crete, or perhaps in paticular the slaying of the priest-king, whom, it is thought (but i have seen no evidence for or against this) that the priest-king may have worn a bull mask, which could of coarse over time be exaggerated into a bull-man
now what dose that say- that A) Athens historiclly "conquerd", or sacked knossos, the defact creteian capitle
and we that the Myceaneans did the same, so, since regions all around Attica were settled by the Acheans, and Acheans are now identified as the Mycenaens, and Mycenaen activity seem to have been the same as Athenian activity during this time, then is it not possible for Athens, if not all MAINLAND greek ionians to be one in the same?
I should also add that, in those histories i read, the Acheans were a seperate group from the Myceaneans
