A proposito di questo titolo

In this pilot episode of Fexingo History, Lucas takes Luna to the sun-scorched plains of northwest Anatolia, circa 1200 BCE, where the city of Troy—known to its inhabitants as Wilusa—stood at the crossroads of empires. From Homer's Iliad to the archaeological spade of Heinrich Schliemann, we explore how a legendary war that may never have happened has shaped our understanding of history itself. Lucas unpacks the layers of Troy's nine cities, the political reality of Late Bronze Age Aegean kingdoms—Ahhiyawa, Hattusa, and the rise of Mycenaean Greece—and the tantalizing Hittite documents that mention a place called Wilusa and a prince named Alaksandu. Was there really a Trojan War? Were Helen and Achilles invented by poets, or do they echo real conflict? This episode sets the stage for a deeper dive into the historicity of the Iliad, the archaeology of Hisarlik, and the enduring power of myth.
