MORE THAN A CENTURY HAS PASSED PAST SINCE GERMAN ARCHEOLOGIST HEINRICH SCHLIEMANN DISCOVERED THE TREASURES OF BRONZE AGE MYCENAE. THE RICHLY DECORATED ARTIFACTS OF THE ENTOMBED WARRIORS, WHOSE BODIES STILL LAY IN THEIR GRAVES, CONFIRMED THAT HOMER`S EPIC THE ILIAD WAS BASED UPON TRUE EVENTS, AND THAT THE ACHAEANS DESCRIBED IN HIS POEMS PROBABLY DID EXIST. THROUGH A COMBINED STUDY OF THE MYTHICAL TRADITION, ARCHEOLOGICAL FINDINGS, AND WRITTEN SOURCES, THIS FASCINATING ADDITION TO THE WARRIOR SERIES EXPLORES THE EVOLUTION OF WARFARE IN THE BRONZE AGE GREEK WORLD.
