Mycenaean Funerary Masks
Heinrich Schliemann discovered these masks in 1876, while excavating in Mycenae, Greece. Three of the gold masks were discovered in Grave IV and two in Grave V. Schliemann claimed that the first mask above was that of Agamemnon, the antagonist in Homer’s Epic, The Iliad. However, current research indicates that the mask was made from 1550-1500 BC, long before the time of Agamemnon.
