Did It Really Happen?

Greeks and romans were fairly convinced that it had happened. There was no kind of definitive version, although homer was kind of as close to is definitive as they got. By the eighteenth by the beginning of the nineteenth century, people were coming to assume that it was a fairy tale. And then the german business man turned archaeologist, heinrich schlieman, famously decided that he was going to prove it had happened in what's now Turkey. He digsm great trench and demolishes vast sways of the archaeology and covers what he claims to have been homer's troy.
