Troy : city, Homer, Turkey
2012
Book
There is no city in history more evocative than Troy. Since the famous poet Homer wrote his 'Iliad' and 'Odyssey' in the 8th century BC, many others have studied, reinterpreted, sung about and laid claim for themselves to the city, the war between the Greeks and the Trojans, and the famous wooden horse. Troy became a legend, and thus a city of poetry, painting, opera and film. But Troy actually existed as well: in 1871 the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann found the remains of the city while excavating in Turkey. Archaeologists have exposed the city's history since the end of the 19th century. This book presents the latest insights and discoveries relating to both the historical and legendary Troy.
