Tracing the physical reality of a legendary ancient war
In short: Alice Roberts travels to modern-day Türkiye to investigate whether the Trojan War was purely myth or historical fact. This journey explores how the Greeks shaped Western civilization and seeks the truth behind one of history's most enduring legends.
The investigation follows a chronological odyssey through Greece, examining the foundations of philosophy, art, theatre, and democracy. Roberts connects these cultural developments to their modern descendants before arriving at the site of Troy.
By visiting the archaeological remains in Türkiye, the exploration seeks to separate historical reality from the legendary narratives surrounding the Trojan War.
