In Search of the Trojan War

£12.99

Michael Wood examines whether the legendary figures of Troy, Achilles, Hector, Paris and Helen, actually existed and whether events such as the siege of Troy ever occured. New evidence uncovered at the excavation site of what is believed to be the city of Troy and events including the rediscovery of the so-called jewels of Helen are examined and commented upon. Wood provides a real historical background to the Trojan War and some of the most exciting discoveries in archaeology, vividly evoking the era that they relate to.
