Description

Did the Trojan War really happen, or is it a poetic invention? This talk investigates archaeological evidence from Troy, ancient texts, and later reinterpretations to trace the blurry line between history and myth. We’ll consider how the story evolved over time and why it still resonates as a tale of heroism, betrayal, and the costs of war.

We believe knowledge must be FREE, available to everyone. Just get your Free pass and ENJOY!
