PART I. _ARCHAIC PERIOD._ SCULPTURES FROM MYCENAE. The sculptures contained in the first section of this catalogue are derived from the site of Mycenae, the first four being fragments of important works of architecture. There is great uncertainty as to the date and origin of the Mycenaean monuments. A theory frequently advanced supposes that they are remains of an old civilization whose centre was Argolis, and which was swept away by Dorian invaders. If this view is accepted, Nos. 1-6 are separated by a long interval of years, and by a time of great political change, from the remaining sculptures in this volume. From No. 7 onwards we have works produced during the historical period; but the remains of Mycenae acquire interest from the consideration that they may be authentic memorials of a dynasty only dimly remembered in the Homeric Poems. [Sidenote: =1-4.=] Fragments of architecture from the building, commonly known as the 'Treasury of Atreus' at Mycenae. This building is a dome-covered tomb (_tholos_) of beehive shape, approached by a long passage (_dromos_). It is cut out from the side of a hill, and built of heavy masonry, covered with earth, so as to form a tumulus. It was partially excavated by Lord Elgin, and more completely in 1879 by the Greek Archæological Society. The fragments Nos. 1-4 are parts of an elaborately decorated doorway to the tomb. They have been incorporated in a somewhat fanciful restoration which was made by Donaldson, and which has been much modified by later investigators.
