But for nearly four millennia, Troy was also a living city, inhabited by real people. Troy today is therefore a site of major archaeological and historical significance. In the modern world, however, Troy has become as much a symbol as a site. From movies to computer viruses, from condom branding to reggae records, Troy is a word to conjure with. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis book explores the significance of Troy in three areas- the mythic, the archaeological, 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, from the Troy of Homer to Classical Antiquity and beyond. The modern day cultural significance of the Trojan War is also discussed, including re-tellings of the stories or representations of the site and myth, and the more abstract use of Troy as a symbol     as a brand for consumer goods, and as a metaphor for contemporary conflicts.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46619410858142,"sku":"UBD-9781472529374","price":52.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781472529374.jpg?v=1773898817","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781472529374","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
