Summary:

For centuries, this mystery has eluded solution: did the legendary city of Troy, described by Homer in the Iliad, even exist? And if so, did the Trojan War really take place? The first explorers of the 19th century tried with all their might to match their discoveries with the descriptions scattered throughout the famous ancient epic. Despite many such efforts, doubt persisted. Today, modern techniques of archaeology finally provide answers and make the remains unearthed on the site of Hissarlik in northwestern Anatolia speak for themselves.
