Tomb of Aigisthos

The grave of Aegisthus is referred to as a tholos grave in Mycenae. According to Alan Wace's classification, it belongs to the first tholos group and dates back to the Late Helladic period. It is the youngest tholos grave of this group in Mycenae and was built around 1470 BC.

The grave is named after Aegisthus, the lover of Clytemnestra, although it is unlikely that he was buried here. Pausanias reported that Clytemnestra and Aegisthus were not allowed to be buried within the city walls due to the murder of Agamemnon. Therefore, the two tholos graves were attributed to these two mythical figures west of the Acropolis. Today, it is known that the city extended even further west and that these graves were located within Mycenae, yet these designations are still maintained.
