Description

Famous from ancient Greek literature as King Agamemnon's capital, Mycenae was the site of almost unbroken excavation during the 20th century, and this continues today.

In presenting a full up-to-date account of the site and placing it in its geographical and historical setting, the author concentrates on the great buildings of the citadel--the Lion Gate, the Cult Centre, and the Palace Complex--which flourished during the palatial Period in the 14th and 13th centuries BC.

But she also investigates the legends associated with Mycenae and examines the evidence for the pre-palatial and post-palatial periods.

Additionally, she is able to incorporate new information on the town and tombs outside the citadel.
