"This book explores what visitors saw at the Trojan exhibition and why its contents, including treasure, plain pottery and human remains captured imaginations and divided opinions. When Schliemann's Trojan collection was first exhibited in 1877, no-one had seen anything like it. Schliemann claimed these objects had been owned by participants in the Trojan War and that they were tangible evidence that Homer's epics were true. Yet, these objects did not reflect the heroic past imagined by Victorians, and a fierce controversy broke out about the collection's value and significance. Schliemann invited Londoners to see the very unclassical objects on display as the roots of classical culture. Artists, poets, historians, race theorists, bankers and humourists took up this challenge, but their conclusions were not always to Schliemann's liking. Troy's appeal lay in its materiality: visitors could apply analytical techniques (from aesthetic appreciation to skull-measuring) to the collection and draw their own conclusions. This book argues for a deep examination of museum exhibitions as a constructed spatial experience, which can transform how the past is seen. This new angle on a famous archaeological discovery shows the museum as a site of controversy, where hard evidence and wild imagination came together to form a lasting image of Troy."--Bloomsbury publishing.

Der Krieg um Troja ist Gegenstand von Homers großem Epos Ilias - doch gibt es aus der Antike auch ,alternative Geschichten' dazu: Die lateinischsprachigen Autoren Dictys und Dares nämlich behaupten, Augenzeugenberichte zu bieten und damit authentischer als Homer über Troja zu berichten. Da die griechischsprachige Ilias im Mittelalter und bis zur frühen Neuzeit nicht zugänglich war, haben die beiden lateinischen Werke zudem größte Bedeutung für die Rezeption des Troja-Stoffs bis in die frühe Neuzeit. In den letzten Jahren sind Papyri gefunden worden, die als griechische Vorlagen der lateinischen Werke gelten. Die mit einer ausführlichen Einleitung erschlossene Tusculum-Ausgabe bietet diese Funde erstmals zweisprachig und ermöglicht gemeinsam mit der zweisprachigen Präsentation der Werke von Dictys und Dares einen neuen Zugang zu ,alternativen Geschichten' von Troja. The Trojan War is the subject of Homer's Iliad, but there have also been 'alternative accounts' handed down since Antiquity. The Latin authors Dictys and Dares claimed to offer eyewitness accounts, asserting that they provided an authentic version of history. Since the Iliad was not read during the Middle Ages due to the poor knowledge of Greek, these two works have taken on a major significance for the reception of the events.

A partire dalla metà del Trecento, una gran parte dei temi narrativi della grande letteratura europea, ma anche molti materiali folclorici, storici e religiosi, furono tradotti in versi nelle ottave canterine. Tra i cantari antichi, databili cioè entro il XIV secolo, la Guerra di Troia è un esempio del tutto singolare, per le sue ampie dimensioni e per la sua dipendenza da fonti scritte. Quasi un poema, pur nelle vesti di un cantare, essa è prova del grande impatto che ebbero, non solo presso il pubblico dei mercanti, ma anche presso uditorî piú vasti, materie fortunatissime come quella troiana, che a partire dal Roman de Troie di Benoît de Sainte-Maure (XII secolo) si sono spinte dal centro alla periferia della letteratura romanza medievale.
