Approaching the fabled Lions Gate of Mycenae, the entrance to the Castle/Acropolis..

A closer look at the Lions Gate. A column with Lions on either side, both signs of royalty.

Photo of the throne room on the right and a ritual bath on the far left. If Homers account of the Trojan War is correct then that Bath Room is where Agamemnon was killed by his wife and her lover on the night he returned to Mycenae after winning the Trojan War.
