Beyond its value as a synopsis, this new book of Spyros Iakovidis supplements his basic publication by adding some remarks on the buildings, their purpose and their contents as a whole, and a charter on the function of the fortress as part of the drainage works of the Kopais in the 13th century B.C. It is hoped that this publication will contribute to the understanding of this important and, so far, unique site and to the appreciation of some less well known technological achievements of the Mycenaean civilization.
