| Summary: | Heinrich Schliemann was a businessman & self-taught archaeologist who is best known for discovering the site of the ancient city of Troy. First published in 1880, this volume contains an account of Schliemann's second excavation at Troy in 1878-9 & places his earlier discoveries from the excavations of 1871-3 in context with his more recent work. Schliemann provides a detailed description & the earliest interpretation of the seven settlement phases on the site, with over 1000 illustrations showing details of the architecture he uncovered. He also describes his controversial methods of excavation, recounting some of the monumental buildings he destroyed to reach the earlier settlement phases of the city. Schliemann's discovery of Troy was met with great enthusiasm; however it also created a debate over the validity of viewing classical epics as historical fact. |
