New York: Simon & Schuster 2006 "The Trojan War is the most famous conflict in history the subject of Homer"s Iliad one of the cornerstones of Western literature. Although many readers know that this literary masterwork is based on actual events there is disagreement about how much of Homer"s tale is true. Drawing on recent archeological research historian and classicist Barry Strauss explains what really happened in Troy more than 3000 years ago.For many years it was thought that Troy was an insignificant place that never had a chance against the Greek warriors who laid siege and overwhelmed the city. In the old view the conflict was decided by duels between champions on the plain of Troy. Today we know that Troy was indeed a large and prosperous city just as Homer said. The Trojans themselves were not Greeks but vassals of the powerful Hittite Empire to the east in modern-day Turkey and they probably spoke a Hittite-related language called Luwian. The Trojan War was most likely the culmination of a long feud over power wealth and honor in western Turkey and the offshore islands. The war itself was mainly a low-intensity conflict a series of raids on neighboring towns and lands. It seems unlikely that there was ever a siege of Troy; rather some sort of trick -- perhaps involving a wooden horse -- allowed the Greeks to take the city.Strauss shows us where Homer nodsand sometimes exaggerates and distorts as well. He puts the Trojan War into the context of its time explaining the strategies and tactics that both sides used and compares the war to contemporary battles elsewhere in the eastern Mediterranean. With his vivid reconstructions of the conflict and his insights into the famous characters and events of Homer's great epic Strauss masterfully tells the story of the fall of Troy as history without losing the poetry and grandeur that continue to draw readers to this ancient tale. 258p. index. 1st US Edition. Hard Cover. As New/New. Simon & Schuster hardcover

Riverside New Jersey U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster 2005 On a late September day in 480 B.C. Greek warships faced an invading Persian armada in the narrow Salamis Straits in the most important naval battle of the ancient world. Overwhelmingly outnumbered by the enemy the Greeks triumphed through a combination of strategy and deception. More than two millennia after it occurred the clash between the Greeks and Persians at Salamis remains one of the most tactically brilliant battles ever fought. The Greek victory changed the course of western history -- halting the advance of the Persian Empire and setting the stage for the Golden Age of Athens.In this dramatic new narrative account historian and classicist Barry Strauss brings this landmark battle to life. He introduces us to the unforgettable characters whose decisions altered history: Themistocles Athens' great leader and admiral of its fleet who devised the ingenious strategy that effectively destroyed the Persian navy in one day; Xerxes the Persian king who fought bravely but who ultimately did not understand the sea; Aeschylus the playwright who served in the battle and later wrote about it; and Artemisia the only woman commander known from antiquity who turned defeat into personal triumph. Filled with the sights sounds and scent of battle The Battle of Salamis is a stirring work of history. Reprint. Softcover. New. Simon & Schuster unknown
