The Heroon of Trysa dates to 380 BCE and was discovered in 1841 CE by an Austrian school teacher, Julius August Schönborn. A heroön is defined as a shrine constructed in the classical world over and around the tomb of a respected ruler and used for their veneration and hero worship. The Heroon of Trysa was dismantled and taken to Vienna by Austrian archaeologists in 1884 CE.
