I do not believe modern Greeks are largely descended from Mycenaeans, I am not sure about Classical Greeks. We need ancient DNA for that.
I suggest at least read Triantaffilidis book,
all the searches give 2/3 in mtDNA (mother's side) palaiolithic and neolithic continue,
while the known Mycenean and Minoan YDNA is about 20-30%.
and the palaiolithic neolithic YDNA is about 14%
the more Mycenean and Minoan we found the more the numbers raise,
believe it or not,
by just one autosomal, a PC, the continuity is about 60-66%
and the lower autosomal continuity is a local drop in North Greece, is 36%, a kind of HBO
