Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

*Includes pictures of important people and places. *Discusses the Iliad's depiction of the Trojan War and the way the Iliad was used to rediscover Troy *Includes a bibliography for further reading. "Rage - Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus' son Achilles, murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses, hurling down to the House of Death so many sturdy souls, great fighters' souls, but made their bodies carrion, feasts for the dogs and birds, and the will of Zeus was moving toward its end. Begin, Muse, when the two first broke and clashed, Agamemnon lord of men and brilliant Achilles. . . ." - Homer, The Iliad Troy is unquestionably one of the most famous and legendary cities of antiquity, yet it is also the most mysterious. While ancient cities like Rome and Athens survived, and the destruction of others like Carthage and Pompeii were well-documented, the fame of Troy rested entirely on Homer's epic poems, The Iliad & The Odyssey. The poems were so famous in the ancient world that Augustus had Virgil associate Rome's foundation with the destruction of Troy and Aeneas' own odyssey in the Aeneid. Augustus went so far as to have a new settlement, New Ilium, built in the region. While the epic poems have been read for thousands of years and are regarded among Western literature's most important, their depiction of the Trojan War between the Greeks and Trojans clearly included fictional elements. As a result, there has been much historical debate over whether the Trojan War actually happened. Up until the 19th century, many scholars merely regarded it as an ancient myth, but when Heinrich Schliemann used Homer's descriptions to guide his excavations, he found ruins in western Turkey of several ancient cities built atop each other, with the oldest dating to the 12th century B.C. Further excavations have found early settlements on the spot dating as far back as 3000 B.C. While that hardly means Homer's tale is true, especially the constant divine intervention, it does suggest that there was a historical city of Troy that was destroyed in war; and the city of Troy associated with Homer's poems was the 7th city built on that spot. Of course, the war would likely have been fought over resources, not a woman whose face could launch 1,000 ships. Since the discovery of the ancient site, further work and scholarship has helped shed light on certain aspects of Troy while also leading to other sorts of debates. For example, Egyptologists have tried to tie references in certain Hittite and Egyptian texts to famous Trojans like Paris. Ancient Cities: The History of Troy comprehensively covers the history and folklore of one of antiquity's most famous cities. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about Troy like you never have before, in no time at all.

“A most insightful treatment of the seemingly mythic events that make up part of the foundation of Western history . . . an excellent book.” —The NYMAS Review Thirty-three hundred years ago, Agamemnon, king of Mycenae in Greece, attacked the city of Troy in western Anatolia. The bloody siege that followed gave rise to one of the most famous legends of the ancient world, and the search for the truth behind the legend has intrigued scholars ever since. In this fascinating new investigation, Rodney Castleden reconsiders all the evidence in order to establish the facts and give a historical basis to the most potent myth of ancient warfare.

Excerpt from The City of Troy and Its Vicinity Within the period of the century, from 1786' to 1886, beginning with the first occupation of the site of Troy by emigrants from the New England States, I have grouped, under the different subjectheadings, the principal facts appertaining to the history of the village and city. Should the one hundredth anniversary of the naming of the place, Troy, be celebrated in 1889, much of this information will make the event more significant and memorable. Troy is not only noted for the manufacture of collars, cuffs, shirts, horseshoes, iron, steel, stoves, cars, railroad rails, surveying instru ments, church bells, chains, knitting and laundry machinery, but enjoys the distinction of distributing her productions in more countries than any other city in the United States of like population and wealth. The infor mation I have presented respecting her banks, churches, schools, newspa pers, charitable and other institutions, will, I doubt not, be appreciated by those desiring knowledge of the city's history.
