The Glory That Remains in the great museums of the world.

Mycenae, more than three thousand years ago, was the home of the heroes of Homer's epics, of Helen of Troy, and Agamemnon. Only in our own time, however, did Schliemann discover in the rocky citadel the extraordinary gold death masks and the silver and ivory objects which tell of an attractive and sophisticated people.
Tonight Robert Erskine looks at these treasures in the National Museum in Athens.
