Atreus, the king of Mycenae, started the Atreid dynasty. His son Agamemnon led the expedition against Troy. The poet Homer in ‘Illliad’ refers clearly to the wealth of the Mycenean leaders and the precious items (golden masks, swords etc) found in the tombs here are the proof of the existence of this civilization. You can see several at the museum at the entrance of the archeological site
