Schliemann's search for the site of Priam's Troy is one of the most fascinating in the annals of archaeology. Late in life and accompanied by his new young wife, Schliemann set out to prove the reality of the Iliad and the Odyssey. To the astonishment of the world, he found Troy and hung upon his wife quantities of gold jewelry he insisted must have been Helen’s. That he had actually penetrated far below the level of Homer’s Troy is one of the most intriguing “accidents” of archaeology and one that led straight to the equally fabulous excavations at Mycenae. Building upon Schliemann’s work, Sir Arthur Evans was led to Crete and the discovery of the four-thousand-year-old Minoan civilization, whose cef-d’oeuvre was the fantastic Palace of Minos, which he painstakingly excavated and restored.
