Cyclopean Walls, Tiryns
Tiryns was already ancient when Homer called it 'mighty-walled', and the walls explain the adjective: boulders the size of rooms, fitted without mortar into ramparts up to eight metres thick, with corbelled galleries running inside them like the casemates of a much later fortress. Later Greeks, unable to credit Bronze Age hands with such masonry, said the Cyclopes built it. The citadel spreads along its low rock above the Argive plain, four kilometres from Nafplio — the plainer, older sister of Mycenae up the road, and half of the same UNESCO inscription.

About this artwork
Tiryns was already ancient when Homer called it 'mighty-walled', and the walls explain the adjective: boulders the size of rooms, fitted without mortar into ramparts up to eight metres thick, with corbelled galleries running inside them like the casemates of a much later fortress. Later Greeks, unable to credit Bronze Age hands with such masonry, said the Cyclopes built it. The citadel spreads along its low rock above the Argive plain, four kilometres from Nafplio — the plainer, older sister of Mycenae up the road, and half of the same UNESCO inscription. Morning is partly cloudy, cloud cover about 44 percent, about 7.5°C, and dry.
