"Society, which has discarded the classical system of education, in which ancient culture was central, has ceased to be interested in Homer, putting Homeric studies in the hands of "specialists" who have turned the study of the Homeric epic into a means of imitating scholarship and profaning science," the author believes, not unreasonably. Instead of historical reconstruction of the events of the Trojan War, profaners pour from empty to empty, trying to prove that the brilliant work of Homer - just a beautiful fiction. What really was the Trojan War - the watershed between thousands of years of almost unknown to us archaic history and Antiquity, which began the countdown familiar to us from written sources of the past? Did the heroes of the ancient world - Achilles, Hector, Odysseus, Paris, Helen the Beautiful - live, fight and suffer, or are they only a myth created by a great poet? When was the Iliad written? Who was its author? Andrei Saveliev creates his reconstruction of the first great European war on the basis of analyzing the "Iliad" and other surviving documents describing the events of three thousand years ago.
