Explanation:

The problem is about identifying important people in Ancient Greek (and related) history. The subfield of Social Science - History is appropriate as it deals with historical figures and events. For each question:

1. The Mycenaean king who used trickery (the Trojan Horse) to win the Trojan War is Agamemnon? Wait, no, actually, the trick of the Trojan Horse was associated with Odysseus's idea, but the Mycenaean king leading the war was Agamemnon. Wait, maybe a correction: The Mycenaean king who was part of the Trojan War and used trickery (the Trojan Horse plan) - actually, the main leader of the Greeks in the Trojan War was Agamemnon, but the trick of the Trojan Horse was devised by Odysseus. But the question says "Mycenaean king", so Agamemnon.
2. The one who reorganized the government with assembly as center - likely Cleisthenes (father of Athenian democracy, reorganized into council and assembly).
3. The leader who reunited Persians into a powerful kingdom - Cyrus the Great (Cyrus II) who founded the Achaemenid Empire by uniting Persian tribes.
4. The one who reorganized the empire into satrapies - Darius I (Darius the Great) who divided the Persian Empire into satrapies (provinces) ruled by satraps.

Answer:

1. Agamemnon (Mycenaean king of Mycenae, leader in Trojan War, though the Trojan Horse trick was Odysseus's, but as a Mycenaean king, Agamemnon led the Greek forces)
2. Cleisthenes (reorganized Athenian government with assembly and council)
3. Cyrus the Great (Cyrus II, reunited Persians into Achaemenid Empire)
4. Darius I (Darius the Great, divided empire into satrapies with satraps as officials)
