The prehistoric city of Mycenae and its impressive citadel used to be a legendary place, a story coming from the ancient times, first mentioned by Homer in his epics. For hundreds and hundreds of years, Mycenae was lost, until 1876, when the excavations by H. Schliemann revealed the home of the mythical king Agamemnon. Since then, many other excavations took place; in 1888 by C. Tsountas , by A. Wace in the first half of the 20th century and later by W. Taylor, I. Papadimitriou and G. Milonas, who are responsible for Mycenae’s modern image. It is the home of the mythical King Agamemnon who declared and won the war against Troy, but was tragically killed by his wife Clytemnestra and her lover, Aegisthus upon his return to Greece.
