EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Madame Sophie Schliemann, the wife of renowned archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, adorned with ornaments believed to have once belonged to Helen of Troy. The image, taken circa 1877, showcases Madame Schliemann's regal presence as she proudly displays the treasures discovered at the ancient site of Mycenae in Greece. Heinrich Schliemann, a German businessman turned archaeologist, was famously obsessed with the legend of Helen and the Trojan War. His groundbreaking excavations at Mycenae and Troy in the late 19th century unearthed numerous artifacts, including the golden mask of Agamemnon and the treasures of Priam. Schliemann believed that these ornaments, which he found in the Grave Circles at Mycenae, were the personal possessions of Helen, the legendary queen of Sparta and the cause of the Trojan War. Madame Schliemann, who was known for her support and encouragement of her husband's archaeological endeavors, can be seen wearing several of these ornaments in this photograph. The intricately designed diadem, necklaces, and bracelets add to her elegant and mysterious appearance, further fueling the intrigue surrounding the mythical Helen of Troy and her connection to the ancient civilizations unearthed by Schliemann's excavations.
