See that’s legitimate (although the period is longer I think), since we have no written sources from that period at all.
It does seem deliberately confusing to have both the 7th-8th centuries in AD and BC be popularly labeled Dark Ages. Not sure you could create a more deliberately confusing situation for non-specialists if you tried. There has got to be a better term.
Well, the Greek Dark Ages are more like 1100 BC to 800 BC, but yes I agree. Although I think the period is also called the Homeric Age and the Geometric Era. It’s also applicable to wider than the Greek world so yeah...it is a misnomer haha.
