Inhaltsangabe

The story of Heinrich Schliemann, the adventurer who believed he could find the site of the city of Troy and did, is as fascinating as the history of Troy itself. The city of Troy was immortalized through Homer’s epic poem The Iliad. Even those who have never read this work are familiar with references to the Trojan horse, Achilles, and Helen of Troy.
