A propos de cet article

Paperback. Troy's greatest defender was dead. Achilles had fallen. The Greek army had spent ten exhausting years beneath walls it could not break. Victory would not come through another heroic duel, but through one of the most famous deceptions ever imagined. The Fall of Troy follows the final and most devastating phase of the Trojan War, from the gathering of the Greek fleet and the sacrifice at Aulis to the anger of Achilles, the death of Hector, the arrival of new champions, the prophecies protecting Troy, and the construction of the wooden horse. It traces the hidden warriors into the city, the warnings of Cassandra and Laocooen, the burning of Troy, the destruction of Priam's royal house, and the troubled journeys of the Greek victors as they attempted to return home. Drawing upon Homer, the surviving summaries of the lost Epic Cycle, Greek tragedy, ancient mythographers, Roman literature, Hittite records, and archaeological research at Hisarlik, this book carefully distinguishes ancient literary tradition from historically verifiable evidence. Conflicting versions are presented without forcing certainty where the sources provide none. This is not merely the story of how Troy was defeated. It is the story of how honour became vengeance, how victory became atrocity, and how a ruined city achieved a cultural immortality greater than that of the warriors who destroyed it. Disclaimer This is an independent work of historical and literary nonfiction. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, sponsored by, or endorsed by any archaeological institution, museum, university, publisher, film studio, estate, foundation, government body, or other organisation associated with Troy, Homeric studies, Greek mythology, or related adaptations. Names including Troy, the Trojan War, Achilles, Hector, Helen, Odysseus, the Iliad, the Odyssey, and other figures or works from ancient mythology and classical literature are used descriptively and refer to material in the public domain. Any modern trademarks, copyrighted adaptations, character designs, translations, films, television productions, games, or commercial properties remain the property of their respective owners. Their mention, where applicable, does not imply endorsement or association. Ancient accounts of the Trojan War contain mythology, poetry, religious tradition, later literary development, and conflicting versions. Although this book draws upon established ancient sources and modern archaeological scholarship, it does not claim that every person, event, speech, divine intervention, or episode described in the literary tradition has been historically verified.
