Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the age-old debate surrounding the location of the Trojan War, a legendary conflict immortalized in Homer's Iliad. It challenges prevailing assumptions and sheds new light on the ancient landscape of the Troad region, where the epic battle is said to have unfolded. Drawing upon the insights of ancient geographers, particularly Demetrius of Scepsis, the author meticulously examines the topographical features of the region, including the rivers, mountains, and plains, to reconcile them with Homer's descriptions. By carefully analyzing the accounts of Demetrius, Strabo, and Pliny, the author offers a fresh perspective on the location of Troy and the surrounding landmarks. The book explores the complexities of interpreting ancient texts and the challenges of reconstructing historical landscapes. It highlights the significance of geographical accuracy in understanding the events of the Iliad and sheds light on the enduring legacy of the Trojan War in both ancient and modern imagination. By revisiting this timeless debate, the author invites readers to reconsider their understanding of one of history's most captivating conflicts.
