The Mycenaean civilisation dominated the eastern Mediterranean between the 16th and 11th centuries BCE. It was pivotal in the development of classical Greek culture and closely linked to the epics of Home: the Iliad and the Odyssey. Mycenae and Tiryns, which are about 20km apart, were important centres of this civilisation. Excavation works at Mycenae and Tiryns were undertaken by Greek and other European archaeologists in the mid-19th century.
