Notes From Abroad: Mycenae
The day after we scaled Acrocorinth, we paid an obligatory visit to Mycenae . I always think of Agamemnon looking out over his vast lands; the scenery has probably changed very little in the last 3000 years ( and apparently I make the same observation to myself and others EVERY TIME ). We took another picture at the Treasury of Atreus with a different set of children. We'll reenact it in ten years, too . All of our children have studied versions of The Iliad and The Odyssey , but it's difficult to picture how the palaces would have looked from the ruins remaining. We did our best!
