Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This is the story of the mighty city of Troy that gave birth to one of the greatest legends ever told. Sumptuously illustrated, Troy uncovers the archaeological history of the city and the people involved with the discoveries. It also retells the compelling tale of the siege, the characters involved and the bloody battles that ensued, while answering many pressing questions about this extraordinary place.

Drawing on the works of Homer and Virgil, it provides a captivating and complete account of the legend of Troy, a legend which continues to fascinate everyone from schoolchildren to film directors.
