Troy myth and reality

大英博物馆特展配套图册，约300张图片。Published to accompany a major exhibition at the British Museum, this beautifully illustrated book searches for the reality behind the legend. It introduces the storytellers and Classical artists inspired by the original myths, and studies the stories themselves - the Judgment of Paris, the trials of Odysseus and the wanderings of Aeneas. It charts the 19 century search for the location of Troy, assesses the excavations by Frank Calvet and Heinrich Schliemann and explores the possible Bronze Age background for the myth of the Trojan War.
