Harrington "I have opened up a new world for archaeology," said Heinrich Schliemann after his 1871-1873 excavation of Troy. Schliemann was speaking the truth; the businessman-turned-archaeologist had shown that Homer's epics may have been based in fact. Schliemann next turned his attention to Mycenae, where the ancient geographer Pausanias had located the grave of Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek assault on Troy, and his fellow soldiers. Unlike previous scholars, Schliemann interpreted Pausanias as meaning the Homeric graves were within Read More Go to Site

		Nemea Excavations ^Votes:0 ANCIENT NEMEA HISTORY OF EXCAVATIONS AT NEMEA Bert Hodge Hill (left) and Carl W. Blegen supervise excavations in the cella of the Temple of Zeus in 1924. Richard Chandler writes of the visit to Nemea by the Society of the Dilettanti in 1766: "We pitched our tent within the cell (sic), on the clean and level area . . . . a road . . . turns to the right to a village called Hagio Georgio, or St. George, from whence we procured tools to dig, and wine, with other necessities." It may be supposed that the digging was in hope of finding sculpture from the pediment of the Temple of Zeus . Since, as we now know, the temple never had such decoration, we may assume that the Dilettanti left Nemea empty-handed. Temple of Zeus at Nemea in 1766, by William Pars, in R.
