Classic cover design w/bold white titles over wrap-around midnight blue shot of large stone cross along ruddy rolling pathway by Brian Skilton. The fascinating revelation of one of ancient history's greatest mysteries. Arguing that the events described in The Iliad and The Odyssey happened not in the Eastern Mediterranean, but in North-West Europe and the North Atlantic, Iman Wilkens goes further than merely tracing connections between Britain and Troy. The Homeric tales, Wilkins claims, do not fit the topography, geology, climate or oceanic tidal patterns of the Eastern Mediterranean. The book argues that the Aegean/Mediterranean place-names, like the European names in North America (Washington, Troy, Cambridge, Briton, etc) were established much later. By examining the texts in detail, Iman Wilkens, identifies over 400 place-names in western Europe and concludes that the original oral version was composed by Homer several hundred years before it was written down. Wilkins reveals that the Trojan War was fought on a far larger scale than previously thought, by Celts from regions as far apart as Scaninavia and Spain, and that the Odyssey provided an oral map for Celtic seafarers. An extraordinary and enlightening journey into prehistory as exciting as the voyage of Odysseus. Many of the puzzling aspects of Homer's epic fall into place and enable the reader to grasp the meaning and significance of Europe's oldest literary masterpieces. Appendices, bibliography, index. 365 pages. Insured post.
