Troy: myth and reality. , , ,

Published to accompany the British Museum's blockbuster exhibition, this book sheds new light on a fascinating story that has resonated for more than 3,000 years of human existence

Troy is familiar to us from the timeless and epic tales of Homer's Iliad and Virgil's Aeneid. These have been retold over the centuries by writers from Chaucer to Shakespeare to Madeline Miller and Rick Riordan, and enacted by stars such as Elizabeth Taylor and Brad Pitt. But how much do we really know about the city of Troy; its storytellers, myth, actual location or legacy?

In this richly illustrated book, the story of Troy is told through a new lens.
