Editing Mycenae (section)

===Archaic and classical periods===
A temple dedicated to Hera was built on the summit of the Mycenaean citadel during the Archaic Period. A Mycenaean contingent fought at [[Thermopylae]] and [[Plataea]] during the [[Persian Wars]]. In 468 BC, however, troops from [[Argos, Peloponnese|Argos]] captured Mycenae, expelled the inhabitants and razed the fortifications.<ref>{{harvnb|French|2002|loc=p. 142: "The dedications continue at the Shrine by the Bridge into the fifth century, probably beyond the disablement of the walls by the Argives in 468 BC."}}</ref>
