Important Ancient Greek City, Some very interesting discoveries have been made by the British School of Archaeology in its recent work at Mycenae, the ancient Greek city, Which already has yielded some of the most remarkable finds bearing on the epic period which preceded the dawn of authentic history. One of these discoveries is of a tank bath in the palace of the Acro- Dolis at Mycenae, which suggests the legendary bath of Agamemnon in which he is reputed to have been murdered by his wife, Clytemnestra. At all events, |{f Agamemnon were & historical person, he should have lived in this palace, for it was bullt about 1,400 years B.C., and was de- century, B.C. Mycenae was one of the most im- portant cities of ancient Greece, and Was the fabled seat of Agamemnon, Son of the king of that city, and most Powerful ruler in Greece. It was Agamemnon whom the Greek histor- ians credit with having led the Greek expedition against Troy. On his return from that expedition he was slain. In the tragedy of Aschylus the scene of the murder is laid in the palace of Agamemnon at Argos, some miles distant from Mycenae. The bath uncovered by British in- Vestigators is lined with red stucco, touch with | you like to save some) and its sides are composed of steps. The palace, which was discovered in 1886, has now been completely cleared. One of the most interesting parts of it is the great hall, or Me- garon, in which is a raised ceremon- ial circular hearth made of painted stucco and having floors of the same material edged with slabs of gypsum. The walls of the hall were covered with painted fresco, which suffered much in the fire which destroyed the Palace. Some fragments of these de- corations were found. They represent elaborately dressed women with auburn hair, The domestic quarters of the Palace were much destroyed, but in them were found a row of jars and & shrine with the remains of Painted stucco altars. Under the floors of the palace have been found scanty remains of a yet earlier edifice, dating probably from 1,600 to 1,400 B.C. There probably lived the kings who were found by Schli®man in 1876 buried with their treasures in the famous shaft graves of Mycenae. . Below this again are the tombs of still earlier periods, going back to about 2,000 B.C. In addition, the British archaeolog- ists found several new chamber tombs in the Mycenae cemeteries. The two largest tombs Just discover- ed have not yet been cleared. In the entrance to one were found Painted vases, gold and amethyst beads, and five splendid intaglio seal stones. On two of these are standing lions ®nd the figure of the great mother goddess dressed in the elaborately flounced and gathered 80Wn worn by Mycenaén wonven. Above her head is her secret symbol, the double ax. One of these big tombs has an en- trance Passage nearly 100 feet long and six feet square .and Ues thirty feet below the level of the ground. It is hoped that they contain articles of great historic value, ------------ Peculiar Facts and Figures. In a pack of playing-cards there are 635,013,659,600 different whist hands.
