<P> Instead the catalogue portrays a loose union of city - states, mostly in mainland Greece, ruled by hereditary families under the overlordship of the High King (ἄναξ, ánax) of Mycenae . Hardly any of them are Dorian . The Ionian Greeks are mainly missing . This political snapshot is undeniably one intended to be of Late Bronze Age Greece . </P> <P> In the Iliad, the Greek Catalogue lists twenty - nine contingents under 46 captains, accounting for a total of 1,186 ships . Using the Boeotian figure of 120 men per ship results in a total of 142,320 men transported to the Troad . They are named by various ethnonyms and had lived in 164 places described by toponyms . The majority of these places have been identified and were occupied in the Late Bronze Age . The terms Danaans, Argives and Achaeans or the sons of the Achaeans are used for the army as a whole . In his Library, Apollodorus lists thirty contingents under 43 leaders with a total of 1013 ships, Hyginus lists 1154 ships, although the total is given as only 245 ships . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Line
