Indo-Europeans in Greece
Much is made, in particular, of "the failure" of the Indo-Europeans in Greece, given their low steppe. But it wasn't exactly a "defeat.", Quite the contrary, it was evidence of how influential these "useless barbarians" were compared to the "civilized and superior" agricultural peoples. Yes, it's true that we don't have much genetic overlap beyond 24% with the Mycenaeans, but even with this initially insignificant gentile heritage, they adopted the language of the steppe, the gods of the steppe, and cultural and funerary elements of the steppe peoples. This is not a defeat, but a victory, even greater than war, because they didn't need to invade the area in significant numbers or cause population overlap as in the British Isles. Even with an "agricultural" population of 60% or more, they assimilated significantly into the steppe cultures. Even the word "support" has Northern Irish origins, from the word "wanax" and, consequently, from its Helladic origin, with these Indo-European influences being transferred to the elite military, we can talk about the introduction and worldview that the horse was for the early Greeks, to the point of having a patron deity to represent this, aka Poseidon.
