But did Troy actually exist? And if so, where is it located? Was the Trojan War actually fought? If it was, did it take place over the course of ten years, as Homer wrote, or was it a much longer series of battles? And why was the war fought? Could Helen's face alone really have launched a thousand ships?
In this course, esteemed professor Eric H. Cline examines the real history of Troy and delves into the archaeological discoveries (which continue to the present day) that help to answer the questions above. Through an entertaining and incisive analysis of known data, Professor Cline provides a fuller, richer understanding of this historic clash.

The author initially outlines Homer's Iliad in a short manner, also bringing it into focus that Homer isn't the only one, who shaped the narrative of the Troian War. In fact, he includes other greek sources from the Epic Cycle.
More over, he also includes Hethitic Sources. So this lecture does not focus on archaeology alone , but on literary sources, too. He does so in an clean and well-researched manner.
After introducing the literary spectrum, Eric H. Cline shifts his view to the archaeology of Troia. He discribes the various phases of the city's development, also summarising the most logical candidates for being Homer's Troy.
In a short outlook he compares the mythogical aspect of the Troian war, with the real evidence in the city's archaeology, coming to the conclusion that this war was a struggle for economic superiority, ending in decades of warfare.
In the end I have to say, that this lecture is worth to listen to. It is mostly made for an older audience, interested in Greek and Hetite sources describing the war. Additionally it dives deep into the settlement history of troy. So if one really likes details, this audio book is worth to consider.
Great lecture about Troia and ongoing research

Wer gut Englisch kann (Prof. Cline spricht immer klar und langsam) und sich für die Antike interessiert, wird dies Hörbuch sicher genießen.
