This is one of my favourite places in the whole world.

Read about our own EGC guide at Mycenae - Lisa Wace's father here:

Alan John Bayard Wace (born July 13, 1879 in Cambridge, England; died November 9, 1957, in Athens, Greece) was an English archaeologist and director of the British School at Athens (1914-1923).

Wace was professor of classical archaeology at University of Cambridge from 1934 to 1944 and at the Farouk I University in Egypt from 1943 to 1952. Among his field projects were those at Sparta, Mycenae, Troy, Thessaly, Corinth, and Alexandria.

Along with Carl Blegen, Wace carried out important work on the decipherment of Linear B tablets.

And in case you do not remember Lisa's mother taught Latin at the EGC.

Look at the next picture and you will see Professor and Mrs Wace at our EGC prize giving, probably in 1950. Not many schools could have such a direct link to Mycenae!
