Hellenizing Mycenae: From Heinrich Schliemann’s Excavations to National Museum Kourkoulakos, Antonis Balaskas, Vasileios Civilización micénica Micenas - Restos arqueológicos In the 1870s, Heinrich Schliemann's excavations in Mycenae brought to light an unknown civilization. His intellectual network exploited the impact of these fascinating discoveries by implementing a double appropriation process. Many foreign intellectuals and members of the upper class sought to engage with the impressive findings. Meanwhile, a Greek intellectual elite played a pivotal role by Hellenizing Mycenaean antiquities to integrate them within a vision of a glorious national past. These processes were brought together with the inauguration of the branch of Mycenaean Archaeology by the Greek king and the establishment of the National Museum. 2025-02-27 journal article Kourkoulakos Antonis & Vasileios Balaskas, 2025. ‘Hellenizing Mycenae: From Heinrich Schliemann’s Excavations to National Museum’, Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies 49.2, 251-268. https://hdl.handle.net/10630/45678 10.1017/byz.2024.30 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ open access Attribution 4.0 International Cambridge University Press
