he Austrian officer and author Amand Schweiger Lerchenfeld (1846-1910) was born in Vienna. After graduating from the Wiener Neustadt Military Academy, he enlisted in the Army and took part in the 1866 Italy campaign. He resigned his commission in 1871 and started travelling and writing. He later founded the "Stein der Weisen" newspaper, of which he was also editor.
In 1873 Schweiger Lerchenfeld made his first trip to Italy and in 1875 he toured Greece. In 1876 he started recording his impressions from his travels in Armenia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Pontus, the East, the Adriatic Sea, Italy, Greece, Africa, the Danube to the Caucasus, and elsewhere. He published some thirty-three works, travel accounts as well as books of naturalist, ethnographic and cartographic interest, atlases and leisure reading. In addition to the present work, Schweiger Lerchenfeld published a travel guide to Greece in 1890.
The description of the journey in Greece starts from Athens and Attica, and continues on to the Peloponnese (Corinth, Argolis, Laconia, Messenia, Arcadia, Elis, Achaea). Again starting out from Athens, the author made another trip to Boeotia, Phocis, Locris, Phthiotis, Aetolia and Acarnania, Epirus and Thessaly. From Volos, Schweiger Lerchenfeld visited the Sporades, Euboea, almost all of the Cyclades and the Saronic Islands. He completed his journey with the Ionian Islands.
The edition is illustrated with sixty plates, and one hundred and forty vignettes in the texts. The author gives information on places and people, on historical and contemporary events, at times in a somewhat romantic style, at others taking a more critical stance.

"Nemea (/ˈniːmiə/; Greek: Νεμέα) is an ancient site in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese, in Greece. Formerly part of the territory of Cleonae in Argolis, it is today situated in the regional unit of Corinthia. The small village of Archaia Nemea (formerly known as 'Koutsoumadi' and then 'Iraklion') is immediately southwest of the archaeological site, while the new town of Nemea lies to the west.
"Here in Greek mythology Heracles overcame the Nemean Lion of the Lady Hera, and here during Antiquity the Nemean Games were played, in three sequence, ending about 235 BCE, celebrated in the eleven Nemean odes of Pindar."

A Tholos seems to be a general name for a round building in ancient Greece. The one at Epidauros seems to have some kind of cultic significance. There were three outer walls who interlocked in a manner suggestive of a labyrinth.

"Mycenae (Greek: Μυκῆναι Mykēnai or Μυκήνη Mykēnē) is an archaeological site near Mykines in Argolis, north-eastern Peloponnese, Greece.
"In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilisation, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades and parts of southwest Anatolia. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae. At its peak in 1350 BC, the citadel and lower town had a population of 30,000 and an area of 32 hectares.
"The first correct identification of Mycenae in modern literature was during a survey conducted by Francesco Grimani, commissioned by the Provveditore Generale of the Kingdom of the Morea in 1700, who used Pausanias's description of the Lion Gate to identify the ruins of Mycenae."
