Features: This is a story about the city of Troy. Around this city, there have been exciting legends. However, Troy is not just a legendary city. Based on the descriptions in Homer's epic and Virgil's epic, this book retells the classic story: the siege, the characters involved in the war, and the bloody battles that followed. It accurately and vividly recreates the situation of Troy being besieged, and the entanglement between Achilles and Hector, the protagonists in the myth, is the core of this decade-long Trojan War. After the two great warriors launched this bloody war, Troy was finally defeated by the famous Trojan Horse plan. This book also follows the adventurous route of the ruthless treasure hunter Heinrich Schliemann, telling how this German businessman, based on the exquisite treasures he discovered and the ruined ruins, found the ancient city of Troy he had always believed truly existed since childhood. Following these two axes, The Legend of Troy completely tells the exciting story of the ancient city of Troy, a myth that can attract everyone—from schoolchildren to film directors—and also showcases the archaeological history of Troy and the people who discovered these histories.
