Discusses the efforts of Heinrich Schliemann, a nineteenth-century businessman, to identify a site in modern Turkey as the ancient city of Troy, and parallels his discovery with a narrative of the main events of the Trojan War in the poems of Homer. - Rosen Pub Group
The story of Heinrich Schliemann, the adventurer who believed he could find the site of the city of Troy and did, is as fascinating as the history of Troy itself. The city of Troy was immortalized through Homerâs epic poem The Iliad. Even those who have never read this work are familiar with references to the Trojan horse, Achilles, and Helen of Troy.
