Legend or History?

The fabulous story of Homer came in history, but what is the truth in this story? Journalist with "World", Stéphane Foucart an update on past and present research about this mythical war and gives us a "state of play" which clarifies certain issues, but does not completely up doubt on the reality of the event.
Leaning on historical research and the many archaeological excavations conducted by battalions of enthusiasts, Stéphane Foucart takes stock of facts that are consensus and those that are still controversial.
Where exactly was the city of Troy? When this war will take place? Priam, Helen, Hector, Achilles did they really exist? The famous episode of the Trojan Horse is it real or metaphorical? Against which the Greeks did they really beaten? Against the Hittites, the mysterious people known very little? In this clear and pleasant to read survey, Stephen F. made on behalf of the known and the unknown, the certain and lincertain and raises several sides of the veil.
It is said in the presentation of the book Stéphane F. "pierces mystery" of this mythical war. This is not correct. The book is closed, clearer we see it, but we do not see everything, and it may take many other research and findings to arrive at a certainty, and this obviously detracts from the power and beauty of Liliade.
This book will satisfy those who want a concise and clear overview of this time of antiquity and its reality or not, but it will leave on their hungry fans of this mythical and fabulous episode.
