EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and mystery of the Third Treasury at Mycenae, a site steeped in history and legend. The massive polygonal masonry, described by later Greeks as Cyclopean due to the sheer size of the stones used, is a testament to the incredible architectural skill of ancient civilizations.
Heinrich Schliemann's 1877 photograph showcases the intricate craftsmanship and scale of this impressive structure, leaving viewers in awe of its construction. The name "Cyclopean" has endured through time, evoking images of mythical creatures capable of lifting such colossal stones.
In this image, we see a lone shepherd tending to his flock against the backdrop of this imposing treasury. His presence serves as a reminder that even amidst great feats of human achievement, nature continues on unabated.
As we gaze upon this historical marvel, we are transported back in time to an era when civilizations thrived and monumental structures like the Third Treasury at Mycenae were erected with precision and purpose. This print is not just a snapshot in time but a window into our past, inviting us to explore and appreciate the rich tapestry of our shared heritage.
