The charming and peaceful land of Argolida holds, within the bowels of its earth, one of the most important civilizations ever to see the light of day: Mycenae. Mycenaean is the culture that dominated mainland Greece, the Aegean islands, and the shores of Asia Minor during the late Bronze Age era (circa 1600-1100 BCE). The Mycenaean Era occupies the tail end of the Helladic Civilization, which flourished in mainland Greece since 3000 BCE. The archeological site is located 24km away from Nafplio. During the tour we will visit the Lion Gate, burial circle A, and
the museum of Mycenae, talking about the geographical and historical context in which one of the earliest European civilizations was born and we will tell the story of Atreides, the mythical
royal family of Mycenae. Then, and during the drama game, we will play the group-circle game “Erinyes”, we will visit the tomb of Clytemnestra and will improvise a theatrical play on the idea of an ancient Mycenean market among the Mycenaean’s and the people who interacted in the Eastern Mediterranean, in the Late Bronze Age. “Minoans, Egyptians, Hettians” will perform for
trade and fun!
