Mycenae is the site of a fortified palace complex in southern Greece that controlled a late Bronze Age kingdom. In Homer's epic poems, Mycenae was the base of King Agamemnon, who commanded the Greeks besieging Troy.

Contemporary archaeologists call the complex Greek society of the second millennium B.C. "Mycenanean"
