Book Description
This overview of the famous and pioneering excavations of Heinrich Schliemann was first published in German in 1889, and in this extended English translation in 1891. The author, Carl Schuchhardt (1859-1943), had wide experience of excavations in both Asia Minor and Europe, and the translator, Eugénie Sellers (1860-1943), was the first female student of the British School at Athens. The book begins with a life of Schliemann, who had died in 1890, and goes on to describe his extraordinary discoveries at Troy and Mycenae, and his work at Tiryns, Ithaca and Orchomenos. It also contains two reports of later work at the mound of Hissarlik, the site of Troy, by Schliemann himself and his assistant Wilhelm Dörpfeld, which had not been included in the German edition. The book is illustrated with many line drawings, and includes the famous photograph of Sophia Schliemann wearing 'the gold of Troy'.

Book Description
From its ancient incarnation as a song to recent translations in modern languages, Homeric epic remains an abiding source of inspiration for both scholars and artists that transcends temporal and linguistic boundaries. The Cambridge Guide to Homer examines the influence and meaning of Homeric poetry from its earliest form as ancient Greek song to its current status in world literature, presenting the information in a synthetic manner that allows the reader to gain an understanding of the different strands of Homeric studies. The volume is structured around three main themes: Homeric Song and Text; the Homeric World, and Homer in the World. Each section starts with a series of 'macropedia' essays arranged thematically that are accompanied by shorter complementary 'micropedia' articles. The Cambridge Guide to Homer thus traces the many routes taken by Homeric epic in the ancient world and its continuing relevance in different periods and cultures.

Book Description
The discovery of the ancient city of Troy has long been attributed to the relentlessly self-promoting archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann. Now, Susan Heuck Allen sets the record straight and gives a good portion of the credit to Frank Calvert, the first archaeologist to test the hypothesis that Hisarlik in Asia Minor was the Troy of Homer's "Iliad". 55 illustrations. 4 maps.

Book Description
This is the first and only dedicated biography of Frank Calvert, the man to whom Heinrich Schliemann owed the start of his archaeological career. Schliemann transformed himself from a businessman into an archaeologist after availing himself of Calvert's offer of a partnership, the benefit of Calvert's experience, and the proffered opportunity to excavate Calvert's land, on which Calvert had long hoped to uncover the remains of Troy. Then, spurning the partnership and never acknowledging his debt to Calvert, Schliemann went on to garner worldwide fame for himself as the inspired discoverer of Troy. The world never questioned Schliemann, and Calvert overshadowed by the impact of Schliemann's discoveries and fame - languished in undeserved obscurity. In recent years, a number of scholars have thrown some welcome light onto Calvert's contributions to Schliemann, but Schliemann's Silent Partner explores every facet of the Calvert/Schliemann relationship from Calvert's perspective and in the context of Calvert's own full and varied career. Eminently readable and of equal appeal to scholars and general readers, this book examines the broad range of Calvert's personal achievements and his collaboration with some of the great scientists of the day. Among the several appendices are an extensive bibliography, a chronological index of Calvert's writings, and the texts of a number of Calvert's papers, some never before published. Objective, exhaustively researched, annotated, and illustrated with over thirty photographs, drawings, maps and documents, this definitive volume reveals Frank Calvert as an important scholar in his own right and a pioneer of Trojan exploration. "A permanent contribution to the history of field archaeology." William M. Calder III, William Abbott Oldfather Professor of the Classics, University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign.
