Acrocorinth

In the story · Flashbacks: Agamemnon comes home to Mycenae

A real filming location (March 2025). The fortress on the great rock above ancient Corinth stands in for Mycenae, city of King Agamemnon, leader of the Greeks at Troy: it appears in flashbacks of his return home to his wife Clytemnestra. Extras in ancient Greek costume were seen here during the shoot.
