a famous megaron is in the king's large reception hall in the bronze age palace of tiryns where the main room had a raised throne placed against the right wall and a central hearth bordered by four minoan-style wooden columns supporting the roof. the cretan elements in the megaron of tiryns were adopted by the mycenaean greeks from minoan palace architecture. frescoes from pylos show people eating and drinking, which were important activities in greek culture. artistic images of bulls, a common animal motif in mycenaean vase painting, appear on greek megaron frescoes such as the one in the pylos megaron where a bull is shown at the center of a mycenaean procession. other famous megara include the ones at the mycenaean palaces of thebes and mycenae. different greek cultures had their own megara where, for example, the greeks of the mainland separated their central megaron from the other rooms whereas the greeks of crete did not do this.
