MYCENAE , one of the most See also:ancient cities of See also:Greece, was situated on a See also:- HILL
- HILL (0. Eng. hyll; cf. Low Ger. hull, Mid. Dutch hul, allied to Lat. celsus, high, collis, hill, &c.)
- HILL, A
- HILL, AARON (1685-175o)
- HILL, AMBROSE POWELL
- HILL, DANIEL HARVEY (1821-1889)
- HILL, DAVID BENNETT (1843–1910)
- HILL, GEORGE BIRKBECK NORMAN (1835-1903)
- HILL, JAMES J

- HILL, OCTAVIA (1838– )
- HILL, ROWLAND (1744–1833)
- HILL, SIR ROWLAND (1795-1879)
hill above the See also:northern extremity of the fertile
ceedingly strong, and it commands all the roads leading from See also:Corinth and See also:Achaea into the Argive See also:plain. The walls of Mycenae are the greatest See also:monument that remains of the Heroic See also:age in Greece; See also:part of them is similar in See also:style and doubtless See also:con-temporary in date with the walls of the neighbouring See also:town See also:Tiryns. There can therefore be little doubt that the two towns were the strongholds of a single See also:race, Tiryns commanding the See also:sea-See also:coast and Mycenae the inner See also:country.
