The so-called death mask of Agamemnon – the king of Mycenae in Homer’s Iliad. Gold funeral mask from Grave Circle A, Mycenae (mid-16th century BCE). The mask in fact predates Agamemnon by 400 years but, nevertheless, remains solid evidence of Homer’s description of Mycenae as ‘rich in gold’. National Archaeological Museum, Athens.
