      The introduction to my edition of The Iliad informs me that #actually The Dark Ages means the 7th and 8th centuries BC. That was a new one for me.

      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.

      I've mostly encountered it under the Homeric Age title, which is a great name. You get a decent idea of when and what it means. It was in this introduction that I first saw Dark Ages used, and it just felt like a needless dose of confusion. One Dark Age was already too many.

      (as an aside, I would also like if we stopped using Renaissance to describe any period that seems to have produced a lot of noteworthy art and pretentious think pieces, up to and including 15th century Italy)

      ☝️ I agree. I will also say the Dark Ages I encountered when I did Classics among the older academics so it must be an older term.
