Ancient Greece: A Political, Social Cultural History:” What is the most likely reason for including the paragraph below? "The Greek word basileus is usually translated as “king” wherever it appears in literature, including in the Iliad and Odyssey. It would be misleading, however, to call the Dark Age leaders “kings,” a title that conjures up in the modern mind visions of monarchs with autocratic powers. A more appropriate name for the Dark Age basileus is the anthropological term “chief,” which suggests a man with far less power than a king. The basileus, nevertheless, was a man of great stature and importance in his community.”
