Mycene was a very interesting site...the former city where Agamemnon ruled.  I walked through his thrown room, and his bathroom where he was killed.  Legend has it that he was going off to battle and wanted calm seas.  At some time, he had annoyed Poseidon, the God of the Seas.  So in order to appease him, Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter.  The seas were calm and he fought well.  He returned to his  palace 10 years later.  While he was taking a bath, his vengeful wife murdered him in the tub....(it's cleaner that way!)

The famouse Lions Gate...the entrance to Mycene....
Some say the city was actually built by an even older civilization, who no one knows much about.  The blocks in the walls date older than when the Greek Mycene showed up in History.

Ok, it's me infront of a hole...really...behind me, is a cave.  Kirk told us to go down it if we weren't afraid.  He warend us that bugs may be down there, so most of us didn't go in.  It was a well of some sorts years back.....ancient times.  I decided to show him that I could do it, so I went in!

It was pitch black down there!  Thank GOD a German tourist had a flashlight (behind me) because it was just a stairwell going straight down a dark tunnel...no water, no bugs, (I don't think) no nothing!  I asked someone to take my picture, but they couldn't see me, so they approximated where I was, and got me in!  YES!

Well, there was something at the bottom.........mice!  In the holes, I was able to photograph these two critters.
