This paper considers whether there is any evidence of rites of passage, the ceremonies commemorating signi ficant stages in the life of a child, which can be identi fied in Mycenaean Greece. The conclusion is drawn that, despite a comparative scarcity of evidence from the Mycenaean period, there were events in a Mycenaean child's life which can plausibly be compared with landmarks in the life of Athenian children in the Classical period.Keywords: CHILDRENMYCENAEANAMULETSRITES OF PASSAGE
