In the second millennium BC Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece.
In around 1350 BC the fortifications on the acropolis, and other surrounding hills, were rebuilt in a style known as "cyclopaean," because the blocks of stone used were so massive that they were thought in later ages to be the work of the one-eyed giants known as Cyclops.
By 1200 BC, however, the power of Mycenae was declining; during the 12th century, Mycenaean dominance collapsed.

 MSN Encarta - Comet
By comparing the orbital elements of a number of earlier comets, British astronomer Edmond Halley showed the comet of 1682 to be identical with the two that had appeared in 1607 and 1531, and he successfully predicted the comet’s next return, which occurred in 1758.
The earlier appearances of what came to be known as Halley’s Comet have now been identified from records dating from as early as 240 bc, and it is probable that the bright comet observed in 466 bc was also an apparition of this famous comet.
Halley’s Comet most recently passed around the Sun again early in 1986.
