According to myth, Mycenae was founded by Perseus, son of Zeus and Danae. In order to build the citadel, Perseus employed the Cyclopes, mythical beings from Asia, after whom the fortification walls were dubbed cyclopean. Mycenae is linked in tradition with the dynasty of the Atreides, Agamemnon, Commander-in Chief of the Trojan Campaign, Clytemnestra, Iphigeneia, Electra, Orestes and Aegisthus, heroes whose names are immortalized by the Homeric epics, the tragic poets and global literature and art\n
