Summary "Troy and Its Remains" by Heinrich Schliemann is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the discoveries made by Schliemann at the site believed to be the ancient city of Troy, documenting the extensive excavations conducted at Hissarlik and the artifacts unearthed from various layers of remains. It explores the connections between archaeology and the legendary narratives surrounding the Trojan War as depicted by Homer, aiming to illuminate the historical context of this famed tale. At the start of the work, an editor's preface introduces Dr. Schliemann's ambitious quest to find the ruins of Troy, emphasizing the significance of his discoveries on the site traditionally recognized as Ilium. The preface highlights the historical importance of the findings, including various artifacts that illustrate the culture and civilization of the inhabitants. Schliemann's methodology, the challenges he faced during his excavations, and the initial discoveries set the stage for what promises to be an engaging exploration of both the material remnants of the past and their connections to the epic poetry of Homer.
