1885 1^ed Schliemann Tiryns Archaeology Homer Iliad Excavation Color Illustrated

Heinrich Schliemann was a German archaeologist known for his studies of Troy, Mycenae, and Tiryns in the 19^th-century. Archaeological digs were not unique to the 1800s; however, Schliemann was interested in proving that the events in Homer’s ‘Iliad’ actually occurred. In his book ‘The Prehistoric Palace of the Kings of Tiryns’, Schliemann gives an account of his excavations, his findings, and reports on hundreds of objects found – weapons, clothing, art, and other bizarreties.
