The head of the expedition to Troy, Agamemnon, the sort of generalissimo of that expedition is called Wanax.

特洛伊远征队的首脑,阿伽门农,当时这类大统帅被称为瓦纳克斯

Agamemnon has been chosen as the generalissimo and that is what gives him, temporarily, the title of wanax.

阿伽门农被选为临时大元帅,这就是某种意义上的王

No human being is referred to as wanax in the period of historical Greece.

所以在古希腊,没有人可以称王

And that raises the question, why is Agamemnon Wanax?

我们不禁要问,为什么阿伽门农能被称作瓦纳克斯呢

The Mycenaean kings we know, thanks to the Linear B tablets, were referred to, the singular once again is Wanax, and the plural is Wanaktes.

迈锡尼王正如我们,从B类线形刻板所知的,在古希腊语中被称为瓦纳克斯,复数是Wanaktes
