MYCENAE October 3, 2023 Tomb of Agamemnon |
The Tholos of Agamemnon, also known as the Treasury of Atreus is located at the northwest corner of the Peloponnese near the Corinth Canal. This large beehive tomb dates back to the Bronze age of 1300-1250 BCE and was attributed by archeologists during the 19th century to the mythical Atreus and his son Agamemnon (whose twin brother was Menelaus who was married to Helen) immortalized by Homer in the Iliad and Odyssey. The artwork is associated with that of the Minoan and Egygtian styles. This cavernous tomb built by excavating the inside of a hill remains one the largest of its type in the world. |
Palace of the Lion Gate This marvellous Bronze Age citadel precedes the Archaic and Classical Ages of Greece and is sited on a hill close to the Tholos. It is a fortress and palace that offers those who persisted in reaching the summit a stunning view of the surrounding countryside. I wandered onto a side path and this adventure rewarded with the discovery of the water cistern, a vital installation of every hilltop stronghold. |
