About this Item

This massive work on Nestor's Palace was compiled following its excavation by the University of Cincinnati in the 1950s. Nestor was a figure immortalized by Homer, and his palace is believed to date back to 13000 B. C. It remained covered by an olive grove until the excavation, and this work details all of the finds, including tablets, seals and frescoes, etc.
