Abstract

Abstract:In May 2015, a University of Cincinnati team unexpectedly discovered a large stone-built tomb of Late Helladic IIA date near Tholos Tomb IV on the first day of renewed excavations at the Palace of Nestor, Pylos. Hundreds of artifacts of gold, silver, bronze, ivory, and semiprecious stones were found with the body of a single male, 30–35 years old, dubbed the “Griffin Warrior.” Many of the grave goods were manufactured in the Minoan world. Among the gold artifacts were four signet rings decorated with Minoan ritual scenes. Here we discuss the excavation of the grave, describe the rings, and consider the significance of the rings' iconography for the Mycenaeans who buried them.

金指环王:皮洛斯的狮鹫战士

摘要:2015年5月，辛辛那提大学(University of Cincinnati)的一个研究小组在皮洛斯内斯特宫(Palace of Nestor)重新发掘的第一天，意外地在Tholos墓IV附近发现了一座大型的晚期Helladic IIA石制坟墓。数百件由金、银、铜、象牙和半宝石组成的文物被发现，尸体是一名30-35岁的男性，被称为“狮鹫战士”。许多陪葬品都是在米诺斯世界制造的。在这些黄金文物中，有四枚刻有米诺斯仪式场景的图章戒指。在这里，我们讨论了坟墓的挖掘，描述了戒指，并考虑了戒指的图像对埋葬它们的迈锡尼人的意义。
