Although many readers know that this literary masterwork is based on actual events, there is disagreement about how much of Homer's tale is true. Drawing on recent archeological research, historian and classicist Barry Strauss explains what really happened in Troy more than 3,000 years ago." "Strauss shows us where Homer nods, and sometimes exaggerates and distorts, as well. He puts the Trojan War into the context of its time, explaining the strategies and tactics that both sides used, and compares the war to contemporary battles elsewhere in the eastern Mediterranean. With his vivid reconstructions of the conflict and his insights into the famous characters and events of Homer's great epic, Strauss tells the story of the fall of Troy as history without losing the poetry and grandeur that continue to draw readers to this ancient tale."--BOOK JACKET. 000338057 650_0 $$aTrojan War. 000338057 85200 $$bgen$$hBL793.T7$$iS78$$i2006 000338057 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0661/2006044389-d.html 000338057 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0666/2006044389-s.html 000338057 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0666/2006044389-t.html 000338057 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0903/2006044389-b.html 000338057 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:338057$$pGLOBAL_SET 000338057 980__ $$aBIB 000338057 980__ $$aBOOK
