It represents his final evaluation of his world-renowned discovery of the site of the legends of the House of Atreus; and where Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Electra, and Orestes lived and died. Almost ninety years after its first publication (in 1880) MYCENAE retains the excitement of the living, day-to-day record of discovery and excavation at the ancient citidal of Mycenae, as well as the tombs and their treasures. Schliemann's discoveries proved that Mycenae was in fact what Homer had called it in the ILIAD-"rich in gold." His books conveys his love of Greek antiquity, his determination to .discover its basis in historical fact, and the thrills and disappointments that accompanied his efforts to unearth and explore the monuments, works of art, and implements of one of the most famous of the, until then, "Lost Civilizations" of the ancient world. Profusely illustrated. Index. (Book ref. 124941)  £35.00
