| Abstract
|
:
|
Hisarlik is a small place, a sandy, stone-strewn hillock cut up into gullies and hummocks. Yet this is all that remains of the legendary Troy, a city whose story sprawls across cultures, time and geography. The tale of the siege of Troy is perhaps the greatest secular story ever told. It has certainly captured the imagination of the Western World for some 3,000 years. Although there are many difficulties in using Greek myths, oral traditions and the Homeric epics to reconstruct the Trojan War, this title uses the latest archaeological evidence to reconstruct in detail the fortifications of Troy as well as making more general observations about the possible historical events behind the epics of Homer."--Page 4 of cover
