Ypsipyli moves with great dignity around the area of the Megaron. After so many adventures, in spite of her suffering and fatigue, she claims a space for herself that she believes is befitting of her unique origin and can bring an end to her wanderings throughout the centuries.
Megaron 832 is the largest building of the settlement, as it has emerged through continuous excavations. It belongs to the “Red” Period, the remains of which are preserved all along the length and breadth of the hill. Megaron 832 itself is located west-southwest on the hill. However, the ‘megarons’, monumental houses of a rectangular design, had already appeared and been established during the previous building phases. In fact, a deep excavation cut within Megaron 832 revealed the entire stratigraphic succession of the settlement with remains already from the “Black” Period. The length of Megaron 832 is 10.10 m, its width 7.90 m. It was undoubtedly intended as the residence for an important person. The fact that bronze weapons and tools were found in an adjacent area leads us to assume that the inhabitant of the Megaron was a ruler of the city and a warrior. Inside the Megaron there was a single door in the middle of the south side that opened onto the front courtyard, as was the norm for the houses of Poliochni. It is thought to have been rebuilt at least seven times as a megaron (from the “Blue” to the “Red” Periods), having first been built on top of seven successive huts of the “Black” period. Its size dictated the need for the use of pillars, one of which is probably indicated by a stone base in the center of the Megaron.
