Interesting story. It looks as though there has been much more excavation done than when I was there in about 1969.

Even though there wasn't much there, it was very impressive to me, with the bits and pieces I had in my mind from having read the Iliad some years previously.

That's what they say about my "Troy" as well.

I'm reading the Aeneid, and that certainly makes Troy sound like a very large city. Interesting.
