Homeric Sites Around Troy by Jonathan Brown

Trace the historical and contemporary search for the sites referred to by Homer in the Iliad and the Odyssey, and by others in the Trojan Cycle. These include the rivers Scamander and Simois, Mt Ida and Gargarus, the Hellespont, the ship stations and ports of the Achaeans and the Trojans and searches for the tombs of fallen heroes. The reported visits to the sites are illuminating, and in some cases, the author suggests locations that differ from tradition.

The book reproduces many antique and old maps, summarises the results of archaeological excavations, presents two new maps, contains many annotated excerpts of satellite imagery, and has many beautiful full-colour illustrations
