Tomb of Lyson and Kallikles

The Tomb of Lyson and Kallikles is a Hellenistic-era Macedonian necropolis near modern Lefkadia, Greece, celebrated for its exceptional painted wall decorations. Built around 250 BC for the brothers Lyson and Kallikles (sons of Aristophanes), the complex comprises two vaulted chambers—an antechamber and burial room—connected by a dromos. The tomb remained in use by descendants for approximately a century until the Roman conquest [1]. The frescoes depicting mythological scenes and architectural motifs rank among the finest examples of Macedonian funerary art [1].
