MYCE´NAE
MYCE´NAE a town in Crete, the foundation of which was attributed by an historian of the Augustan age (Vell. Paterc. 1.1) to Agamemnon.
Harduin (
ad Plin. 4.12) proposed to read Mycenae for
MYRINA which is mentioned as a city of Crete in the text of Pliny (
l.c.). Sieber (
Reise, vol. ii. p. 280) believed that he had discovered the remains of this city at a place called
Maca or
Masis, on the river
Armyró. (Höck,
Kreta, vol. i. p. 435.)
