Discovering Troie
Heinrich Schliemann’s story begins in 1822 in Ankershagen, a small village in north-eastern Germany. A passionate reader of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and a polyglot (he speaks 11 languages), young Heinrich dreams of discovering the ruins of Troy, the mythical city destroyed by the Greeks. After many adventures, and with the poet Homer as his only guide, he finally realises his dream, his discovery marking a turning point in the history of archaeology.
