For thousands of years the tale of Troy has captivated the western imagination. Hector and Achilles, Odysseus and the beautiful Helen are among the most enduring figures in art and literature. But did Troy really exist, and did the Trojan war really take place?
ed.pendragon: Another accessible book by the enthusiastic Michael Wood, historian and presenter of many BBC TV programmes such as the ones on which these are based.
A lo largo de los siglos, los mitos que se refieren a la guerra de Troya y sus protagonistas, transmitidos desde la Ilíada por una numerosa secuencia de recreaciones literarias, han mantenido viva su fascinación. Sólo cuando Heinrich Schliemann pretendió, hacia 1873, haber descubierto el "tesoro de Príamo" y las ruinas de Troya en Hisarlik, en la actual Turquía, comenzó a pensarse en la posibilidad de que los acontecimientos narrados por Homero tuviesen una base histórica.
5659. In Search of the Trojan War, by Michael Wood (read 12 Nov 2019) This book, published in 1986, assiduously details the study of the site of Troy in Turkey, telling of Schliemann's archaeological work on the site beginning in the 1870's and reminding me of the great work, Gods, Graves, and Scholars, by C. W. Ceram, which I read on 27 Jan 1953 as I was cruising around in the Mediterranean and have never forgotten. But this book by Michael Wood is written for the serious student and is often very dry. So for me the book was not attention-holding. The author concludes if there was a Trojan War it was in about 1270 B.C. and Homer, if he existed, did the Iliad in about 800 B,C, And Helen? And Achilles? And Hector? I think the author feels that those people are fictional and he may be right--but it takes a lot of interesting things out of the story, and while this book is carefully researched it was a drag to read, for me..

This was originally a television show, Mr. Wood takes us past the short history of the excavation of the site by Schliemann, to more modern workings. He has a lively style and pretty good illustrations, though I would have liked more reconstructions of what the city looked like at various periods. One discovers that the city had a certain vogue as a tourist trap in Roman times. But there is evidence of a destruction by fire in the level called Troy VIII. ( )

On Homer, I leave the last word with Alexander Kinglake, who in 1834, standing on the Trojan plain, fondly recalled his childhood teaching 'that the Iliad was all in all to the human race -- that it was history, poetry, revelation, that all the works of men's hands were folly and vanity, and would pass away like the dreams of a child, but that the Kingdom of Homer would endure for ever and ever,' Eothen, or traces of travel ... brought home from the East, 1844, (Century , 1982; OUP, paperback 1982).
