On Thursday we all headed out of Nafplion for the ancient site of Mycenae, a site well-known for its Lion Gate and exquisite gold burial objects. The site is also important in Greek literature for being the residence of the famous king Agamemnon who led the Greeks against the Trojans in Homer's
Iliad, only to be killed by his adulterous wife Clytemnestra. Pictured above is what is known as Grave Circle A which contained numerous burials with gold objects and weapons. Below is Syntagma Square in Nafplion, the first capital city of Greece.
