Imagine going to the grave with a gold mask and three swords, only for every generation after you to hand the credit to the man beside you.
This is precisely what happened to a woman whose remains were discovered in the 1950s in Mycenae, the legendary Greek citadel of King Agamemnon. She died about 3,500 years ago, before the Trojan War ever took place, and for decades the simple assumption was that she was someone's wife. The mask of gold? His. The swords? Also his.
