Genre: Documentary The epic poet Homer wrote of the great walled city
of Troy, immortalizing its destruction in the Trojan War. But by the
19th century, most people thought of the tale as fiction. Except for
one man, Heinrich Schliemann, a German industrialist who followed the
clues in Homer and uncovered the ruins of the great ancient cities of
Troy and Mycenae, complete with fabulous treasures. A generation
later, an Englishman named Arthur Evans pushed back the frontiers of
European history even farther, with his spectacular discovery of the
ancient palace of Knossos on the island of Crete. In a controversial
move, Evans reconstructed parts of the palace, blending his own
theories of the people he called the "Minoans" with the archaeological
record.
