This book explores the significance of Troy in three areas: the archaeological, the disciplinary and the cultural, and highlights the continuing importance of the site today. Including a survey of the archaeological remains of Troy as they are currently understood, the volume presents an all-inclusive overview of the site's history, with re-tellings of the stories or representations of the site, and an explanation of the more abstract use of Troy as a symbol - as a brand for consumer goods, and as a metaphor for contemporary conflicts.
