I'm struggling to remember what Mycenean pottery typically depicted. The Minoans, now there's a people with happy ceramics.Ahem. That painting was made 800 years after the actual events. Most vases were made less than 10-50 years after the events. Unless you count the achillean one, but really, what painting/vase exists depicting the siege of Troy soon after it happened?
Besides, there's an advantage on that type of anachronism, the depiction of the event might be anachronistic, but it is accurate to it's present.
