THE GREEKTREASURE

For thousands of years the legend of Troy has echoed through Western literature. The Iliad, Homer's classic tale of the ten-year battle between ancient heroes has been translated into nearly every language and has served as a source of ideas and images for many cultures. Yet until a little over 100 years ago everyone assumed that the city of Troy was pure myth.

Then in 1873 along came Heinrich Schliemann and proved them all wrong. Ever since he first read the story of Troy as a boy of seven Heinrich Schliemann was convinced that the city had actually existed. At the age of 46 having a fortune more than a million dollars he retired from the world of business to pursue a dream that had captivated him since childhood.

Most scholars considered that Troy ruins could be near the little Turkish village of Bunarbashi. But one look convinced Schliemann that this was not possible because it didn't answer Homer's description. So Schliemann looked for another site. A little to the north and about an hour from the sea was a mount called Hissarlik. The geographical details of the area matched Homer's account exactly.

Was it really Troy? He began digging through the heat and cold of three years, employing more than 100 laborers. Then, on what was going to be the second to last day of the excavation, at a depth of 28 feet in the mound he spotted gold! Working with a large knife, he and his wife quickly uncovered more than 8.700 gold rings, bracelets, and crowns which he felt certain constituted the treasure of Priam, King of Troy.

Actually, the gold belonged to a king who preceded Priam by 1,000 years. Thus, Schliemann not only discovered Homer's Troy, he also proved that European civilization was far older than anyone realized. And perhaps that was his greatest accomplishment.
