Troy: story, archaeology and legend

Wednesday 19, 26 November, 3, 10 December, 6pm-7.30pm (UK time) The story of Troy was deeply engrained in ancient Greek culture, art and thought. It continued to resonate in different ways through subsequent ages, and still exerts a powerful fascination today. Equally fascinating is the story of the search for Troy, the rediscovery of the ancient site and the often-dramatic archaeological finds made there. This course will give the opportunity to consider and discuss both the real and the imagined Troy, and will explore some of the reasons for the enduring power of one of the world’s great stories. Sessions may be followed live, or watched afterwards at your own convenience (lectures will be available for up to one month after the final session).
