Tomb Raider II

            Grobowiec Klitajmestry wybudowano ok. 1200 r. p.n.e. w Mykenach. Nazwany na pamiątkę nieszczęsnej żony Agamemnona, był ostatnim grobowcem tolosowym wzniesionym w mieście. Schowany pod teatrem wzniesionym w Mykenach w okresie hellenistycznym, odkryty został dopiero w początkach XIX w. Zawiadomiony o znalezisku turecki gubernator Nauplionu, Weli Pasza czym prędzej popędził do Myken i przebił się do grobowca od góry przez kopułę, aby zrabować kosztowności! Sklepienie zostało naprawione dopiero w 1951 r.

Mykeny były starożytnym miastem, według legend założonym przez Perseusza. Położone są w Argolidzie, w północno-wschodniej części Peloponezu. W drugiej połowie II tysiąclecia p.n.e. stanowiły ośrodek kultury mykeńskiej, obejmującej całą Grecję epoki brązu, a której imponujące pozostałości w postaci dobrze zachowanych ruin i archeologicznych artefaktów podziwiać możemy do dzisiaj. Kultura mykeńska osiągnęła szczyt swojego rozwoju w okresie pomiędzy 1300 a 1100 r. p.n.e.
Miasto słynne jest też dzięki Homerowi, albowiem wedle Iliady, armia grecka pod Troją dowodzona była przez króla Myken, Agamemnona.

The vaulted Tomb of Clytemnestra in Mycenae dates to about 1,200 B.C. 
The tomb, named after the doomed wife of Agamemnon,  was the last tholos tomb erected at Mycenae. It was hidden beneath the theatre built at Mycenae in the Hellenistic period, and consequently the tomb remained undetected until the early 19th century. Alerted to the discovery, the Turkish governor, Veli Pasha of Nauplion, broke through its roof in order to plunder the burial chamber. In 1951, the damaged upper part of this tomb was restored.

Mycenae, situated in Argolis, in the north eastern part of Peloponnese, is the well known centre of the Mycenaean civilisation (16th-12th century BC) and the site yielded some most important and beautiful archaeological objects. Legend has it that Mycenae was founded by Perseus, and the entire culture of mainlad Greece during the Bronze age was named Mycenaean during the late Helladic period. With its legents, art, and ideas, Mycenean culture reached its zenith from 1300 BCE until 1100 BCE. Mycenae is famous also because of its association with Homer's Iliad. In Iliad, the Greeks were led by the king of Mycenae, Agamemnon.
