Images of Bronze Age Troy and Mycenae


The following links go to images of Bronze Age Troy and Mycenae.

IMAGES FROM TROY

  • Trojan War Art Museum: This site is a gem; it includes wonderful images from the Bronze Age up to the Twentieth Century. A must-see.

IMAGES FROM MYCENAE

  • Aerial views of Mycenae: This page also includes many other wonderful images of Mycenaean art and artifacts.
  • Dr. J's Illustrated MYCENAE: This page is the gateway to a great set of images and "lectures" about them.
  • The Lion Gate at Mycenae: A photo of the famous Lion Gate through which Agamemnon may have walked on his way to Troy.
  • The Treasure of Atreus: An arial view of a tholos tomb, popularly known as the Treasure House of Atreus (Agamemnon's father).
  • Yessy Art Gallery: A set of lovely images of Mycenaean artifacts. They seem to be for sale, which surprised me. I had thought such objects were protected by the country they were found in.
  • Death Mask of Agamemnon:  A funerary gold mask known as 'Schliemann's Agamemnon,'" although it was too early to actually have been Agamemnon's. It was found at Mycenae. Second half of the 16th century BC.
