The Plain Of Troy Described, And The Identity Of The Ilium Of Homer With The New Ilium Of Strabo Proved - Paperback

by Charles MacLaren (Author)

""The Plain of Troy Described, and the Identity of the Ilium of Homer with the New Ilium of Strabo Proved"" is a book written by Charles MacLaren. The book explores the ancient city of Troy and its connection to the epic poem ""The Iliad"" by Homer. MacLaren provides a detailed description of the plain of Troy, including its geography, history, and archaeological discoveries. He argues that the ancient city of Ilium, which was thought to be lost to history, can be identified with the modern-day city of Hisarlik in Turkey. MacLaren supports his argument with evidence from the writings of Strabo, a Greek historian and geographer, as well as from archaeological excavations at Hisarlik. The book is a fascinating exploration of one of the most famous cities in ancient history and sheds new light on the connection between myth and reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
