Tiryns

This photograph was made at the ruined palace and fortress of Tiryns, in Greece.

They are said to have built Tiryns; the walls of which were esteemed no less a wonder than the pyramids of Egypt.

Those who built Tiryns are represented as seven in number; and the whole is described by Strabo in the following manner.

Here he built Mycene, and Tiryns, said by many to have been the work of the Cyclopians.

The Cyclopes of Tiryns were seven, as we learn from Strabo; because the towers probably were in number so many.
