About this listen
But did Troy actually exist? And if so, where is it located? Was the Trojan War actually fought? If it was, did it take place over the course of ten years, as Homer wrote, or was it a much longer series of battles? And why was the war fought? Could Helen's face alone really have launched a thousand ships?
In this course, esteemed professor Eric H. Cline examines the real history of Troy and delves into the archaeological discoveries (which continue to the present day) that help to answer the questions above. Through an entertaining and incisive analysis of known data, Professor Cline provides a fuller, richer understanding of this historic clash.

Great but repetitive
Really enjoyed this. It's informative and interesting but as other reviews mention it is repetitive. Worth a listen

Archeology and the Iliad
This was a fascinating series of lectures concerning a subject I’m very interested in.
Kleins Narration is actually quite good, his enthusiasm for the subject matter obvious.
I really enjoy different takes on the Trojan wars, finding new interpretations & the reasons for those interpretations, so this ticks all the boxes.
The archeological history is also well covered. Recommended.

An excellent course
This covers much the same ground as the Michael Wood tv series. The lectures are very informative and provide a lot of detail. The host professor cline is a good host. If you liked the above TVs series, this is an excellent addition to your library.
