Wanax

Wanax is the title for the high king of the Mycenaean Confederation. While all kings are technically equal, the wanax has supreme authority on the country's international matters, including the signing of treaties and declarations of wars. Wanaxes are usually the rulers of the kingdom of Mycenae, though in some cases (such as regencies) monarchs of other kingdoms of the Confederation can become wanaxes. Currently the position of the wanax of the Mycenaean Confederation is vacant, as it is being disputed between Tirynthius and Hecataeus, the sons of the former wanax Eteweokles.
