Why read it?
1 author picked Schliemann of Troy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book explores many important, controversial aspects of Heinrich Schliemann's Trojan searches in the second half of the 19th century. The reading is very interesting both to deepen the details of that archaeological discovery, considered one of the most important of the nineteenth century, and to better understand the controversial figure of Schliemann, who in addition to his great merits also presents some not small shadows.
From Felice's list on ancient myths and European prehistory.
