History & Glossary

In Greek mythology, Agamemnon was the king of Mycenae or Argos (different names of the same region), son of King Atreus and Queen Aerope. His brother was Menelaus, who was married to Helen, the main characters that participated in the events leading to the Trojan War. He was married to Clytemnestra, and had four children; Iphigenia, Orestes, Chrysothemis and Electra, also known as Laodike. After the end of the war, Agamemnon returned home, where Clytemnestra had started an affair with Aegisthus. The two of them plotted against Agamemnon and killed him, thus Aegisthus becoming the ruler of Mycenae again. Orestes, Agamemnon’s son, later avenged his father’s death by killing the two lovers; however, this caused the wrath of the Erinyes, because he committed matricide.


Mycenae. One of the World Heritages of Unesco, homeland of king Agamemnon when he returned as a winner from the Troyar war. Your guided archaeological and historical tour will start at the vaulted tomb, known as   the “Treasury of Atreus”, one of the most impressive works of Mycenaean burial architecture.

Archaeology reveals that the citadel of Mycenae was the city’s defensive centre and the hub of its economic, religious, and administrative life. The citadel was well provisioned to resist a siege but, on a day-to-day basis, was home to Mycenae’s places of worship and nobility. At the highest point was the royal palace.Argos is a city in ArgolisPeloponneseGreece and is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, and the oldest in Europe.
