THE RUINS OF TROY
Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890), a German merchant w had become a millionaire by the age of 36, discovered the ruins Troy in 1873. Since his childhood the story of the City and its war had fascinated him, as told by the Greek poet, Homer, in the Iliad (‘Ilium’ was another name for Troy).

In the mid 1800s many scholars thought the Iliad
was fiction, but Schliemann
believed exactly the contrary. As he was studying the text, he came to the
conclusion that the site was in northwestern Turkey, in Hissarlik.
After he had dug there for months he found the
ruins not of one City, but of nine, each built on the ruins of the previous
one, forming nine layers. When excavations had finished, he could gather
treasures of gold, silver and jewelry Schliemann had imagined that Homer’s Troy
was layer IX (2200 BC), but archeologists discovered later that it was layer
VII, a smal1 fortified city, destroyed by fire and violence in 1200 BC, just as
the Iliad recounts. (Adapted

AS RUÍNAS DE TRÓIA
Heinrich Schliemann (1822-1890), um comerciante alemão se tornou um milionário aos 36 anos, descobriu o Troy ruínas em 1873. Desde a sua infância a história da Cidade e sua guerra o fascinavam como dito pelo poeta grego, Homero, na Ilíada ("Ilion" era outro nome para Tróia).
Em meados dos anos 1800 muitos estudiosos
pensaram a Ilíada era ficção, mas Schliemann
acreditava exatamente o contrário. Como ele estava estudando o texto, ele
chegou à conclusão de que o local era no noroeste da Turquia, em Hissarlik.
Depois de ter cavado lá por meses, ele não
encontrou as ruínas de uma cidade, mas de nove, cada construída sobre as ruínas
da anterior, formando nove camadas. Quando as escavações terminaram, ele
poderia reunir tesouros de ouro, prata e joias Schliemann tinham imaginado que
Troy Homer foi camada IX (2200 C), mas os arqueólogos descobriram mais tarde
que era camada VII, uma cidade fortificada smal1, destruído pelo fogo e
violência em 1200 aC, assim como a Ilíada narra.
