Archaeologists begin as readers. The young Heinrich Schliemann, captivated by the ancient Greek epics (so the story goes), grew up and went to Hisarlik, in Asia Minor, in 1870 to find his Troy - a walled city by the sea, straight out of the Iliad. The hoard of gold jewelry he found there was Helen's own. At Mycenae, Schliemann unearthed a gold mask hiding a mummified face - Agamemnon's face - that turned to dust after the archaeologist kissed it.

It instead provides intriguing hints about the many wonders of the ancient civilization, which, by the way, are available through other sources.

From studies of contemporary society, Strauss believes it plausible that a coalition of Greek city-states attacked Troy in response to the insult of wife stealing-particularly considering that Paris and Helen stole the national treasure when they fled Sparta. According to Homer, individual Greeks had slipped in and out of the city earlier in the siege; infiltrating a small party under the cover of a victory celebration accompanied by civic debate over the fate of a horse statue would have been relatively easy.
