Hello everyone,
The second image should be a close up of the sword found in the royal tomb of the so-called Philip II in Vergina (Greece). Here is the image of the entire sword (sorry for the bad quality).
About other swords found in Greece at the moment the only one that comes to my mind is the one cited by P. Connolly (p. 63) described as: “Early Greek iron sword from Kerameikos, c. 820 BC”
