SOCIal classes
The social classes in Mycenaea and Minoa were basically the same. At the top of the social pyramid, was the King, who was also known as the Wanax. Under the king was the Lawageta, the leader of the army. After the Lawagetas, were the Telestas, who were religious officials of the city. Under the Telestas are the Equatas, or the military/calvalry class, followed by the Quasireu, who were the workers. Under the workers were slaves. See Social Pyramid.
