The Treasury of Atreus, also known as the Tomb of Agamemnon, is a remarkable piece of Mycenaean architecture, built around 1250 BC near Mycenae in Greece. While it's widely referred to as a tomb, its exact purpose and the identity of the person who may have been buried there are still unknown. The structure’s size and precision highlight the advanced engineering skills of its builders.

One of the most striking features is its massive entrance, which includes a 120-ton lintel stone—one of the largest used in the ancient world. How the Mycenaeans moved and positioned such heavy stones without modern machinery remains a mystery that continues to intrigue archaeologists.

The tomb also features a corbelled dome nearly 45 feet high and 47 feet in diameter. This was the largest dome of its kind for over 1,000 years, showcasing the Mycenaeans' impressive construction techniques. They built it by carefully stacking stones to create a self-supporting structure.

Although the structure was likely looted long ago, its association with Greek mythology, particularly the legendary figures Atreus and Agamemnon, adds to its allure. These names were linked to the tomb because of its grandeur, though there is no direct evidence of who, if anyone, was actually buried there. Today, the Treasury of Atreus stands as one of the finest examples of Mycenaean craftsmanship and engineering.

The Jockey of Artemision is a large Hellenistic bronze statue of a young boy riding a horse, dated to around 150–140 BC.
It is a rare surviving original bronze statue from Ancient Greece and a rare example in Greek sculpture of a racehorse. Most ancient bronzes were melted down for their raw materials some time after creation, but this one was saved from destruction when it was lost in a shipwreck in antiquity, before being discovered in 1926.
It may have been dedicated to the gods by a wealthy person to honour victories in horse races, probably in the single-horse race (Greek: κέλης - kēles). The artist is unknown.

The Sacred Band of Thebes was an elite military unit in ancient Greece, composed of 150 pairs of male lovers. Founded by the Theban general Gorgidas in the 4th century BC, the Sacred Band was based on the belief that soldiers would fight more fiercely and courageously if their partners were by their side, as they wouldn’t want to show cowardice or bring shame to their lover. The unit was made up entirely of men who were in close, intimate relationships, and it was considered that the emotional bond between them would make them more formidable in battle.
This unique structure proved highly effective. The Sacred Band was instrumental in several key victories for Thebes, including their famous defeat of the Spartans at the Battle of Leuctra in 371 BC, which shattered Sparta’s military dominance. The Sacred Band remained undefeated until their tragic demise at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC, where they were heroically killed to the last man fighting against Philip II of Macedon and
