Mycenae (Μυκῆναι,) is a city in Greece which was important for Greek history and culture. Many writers and artists were inspired by this place.
There are myths and legends about Mycenae. Perseus (Περσεύς), son of Zeus and Danaë, founded Mycenae. He left Argos (Άργος) and went to Tiryns (Τίρυνς). Perseus asked Cyclopes (Κύκλωπες) to build the walls with stones, which no people could lift.
The Perseid ruled Mycenae and finished with Eurytheus (Εὐρυσθεύς). He said to Heracles to perform the 12 Labours. After Eurytheus died, Atreus (Ἀτρεύς) became king of that place.
Also, Mycenae was known as city of Agamemnon (Ἀγαμέμνων). Because king Agamemnon was against Troy during the Trojan War.
Mycenae shows history of Ancient Greece. There are many buildings and monuments in it. Some of them were created in the Bronze Age. This territory was populated in the Neolithic Age.
Mycenaean civilization had its own values and participated in wars.
Mycenae fell around 1200 B. C. Later this place was destroyed.
