Description
The Iliad is an epic poem written by the Greek poet, Homer in the 8 th century BC. One of the oldest extant works of literature, it is regarded as the first substantial piece of European literature that has been widely read from the day it was written until today. It was used as a textbook in the ancient Greek world and played a crucial role for the development of not only the Greek culture but also of the Western civilization. This tour invites you to join a survey of the legendary site of Troia, where the epic says Achilles perished and Odysseus fooled the Trojans.
– Synopsis of Homer, the Iliad and the Trojan War
– The discovery of the ancient city and the history of archeological research in Troia with reference to Heinrich Schliemann

I’m Filiz Tütüncü Çağlar, an archaeologist and art historian (MA, PhD) who has spent more than twenty-five years guiding across Turkey and Germany. Currently, I’m based in Berlin, working as a postdoctoral researcher and guide at the city’s major museums. My research follows the people who excavated the past and carried it into museums, and it has taught me that the best stories hide behind the objects. My tours at World Virtual Tours will take you from Anatolia’s Neolithic settlements to the walls of Troy and the voyages of Odysseus, through medieval and Ottoman Istanbul down to shipwrecks on the seabed and into the backstories of museum collections. All you need is curiosity.
