Summary
Homer wrote his epic, "The Iliad," 500 years after the Trojan Wars were supposed to have taken place. On what did he base his story? Did the Trojan War ever happen? Where was Troy situated? Did Paris and Helen really exist? Join historian Michael Wood as he combs the cradle of civilization from Greece to Turkey and Western Europe in search of archaeological evidence that may validate the fantastic battles immortalized in Homer's legend. Over six hour-long programs, Wood presents a portrait of the historical and legendary city of Troy, its central place in Western culture, and the Mycenaean Age itself. In "The Women of Troy," Wood looks at the reality behind Helen and Mycenae's wealth and offers an explanation of the Wooden Horse.
