No
clear boundary seems to
visually exist for the extants
of Troy, as farmland extends
off into the distance...

looks to be the
foundation of a temple
lies soft ground and a few
perimeter stones.

The
foundations of an altar
that belonged to the Greek
and Roman temple of Athena.
The remains were removed
by stone robbers long ago...

The remains of a sloping
stone wall backed by a
rubble fill. Thought to be a
rampart ... the rows of
parallel, rough stone walls
which you can see beyond
are the foundations of
relatively large, close-set
house of the Early Bronze
Age (c 2920 BC)

The
Roman Odeion which,
among other things, was
intended for the presentation
of musical performances.

Another
view of the
Odeion. It appears to have
only been able to seat a
few 100 people; I wonder if
another ever existed on a
larger scale here in Troy? |

Another
excavated trench,
perhaps by Schliemann in the
late 1800's, again shows
how unimpressive visually
Troy is. Why then do I
treasure the experience of
having been here? If you
do not know, pick up your
ancient history books and
those of Homer immediately!
