Synopsis

A concise, source-driven look at Troy’s landscape, from Homer to Strabo, with careful analysis you can trust.

This study examines how scholars piece together the site and plain around Troy using ancient texts. It focuses on how different geographers describe the land, the rivers, and the routes that shaped legendary battles. The book foregrounds careful comparison of sources and the ways topography and myth meet in historical understanding.

  • How ancient authors describe places like the Scamander, Simois, and Ida influence modern interpretation.
  • Where maps and textual clues align or clash, and what that means for locating ancient Troy.
  • The role of commentary and dissent in reconstructing the landscape of a famous battlefield.
Ideal for readers interested in classical geography, Homeric landscapes, and the methods scholars use to ground epic history in real places.
