How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The ancient citadel of King Agamemnon, already a ruin in Kassandra's time, with its circle of royal graves and massive walls.
The real place
Mycenae was the centre of the Bronze Age Mycenaean world. Its Lion Gate, in the photo, was built around 1250 BCE and is the oldest monumental sculpture in Europe.
Visiting
Mycenae is about two hours from Athens. Combine it with Nafplio, Epidaurus and Argos for a day in the Argolis.
