Did the Trojan War really happen? Spectacular new archaeological
evidence suggests that it did. Recent excavations and newly
translated Hittite texts reveal that Troy was a large, wealthy city
allied with the Hittite Empire. Located at the strategic entrance
to the Dardanelles, the link between the Aegean and Black Sea, it
was a tempting target for marauding Greeks, the Vikings of the
Bronze Age. The Trojan War may have been the inevitable consequence
of expanding Greek maritime commerce. Written by a leading expert
on ancient military history, the true story of the most famous
battle in history is every bit as compelling as Homer's epic
account - and confirms many of its details. In The Trojan War,
master storyteller Barry Strauss puts legend into its historical
context, without losing its poetry and grandeur.
