We have explored the myth of Trojan War and we have sung the Ballad of
Heinrich Schliemann. All that's left is to answer the question that has
inspired this entire trilogy of episodes. To determine whether or not the
Trojan War was based on a verifiable historical event we are going to have to
scour the Iliad for clues, peruse ancient Hittite clay tablets, and examine
all the archaeological evidence that wasn't thrown in the trash by Heinrich
Schliemann. Will we solve the great Trojan puzzle? Tune in and find out how
multiple Homers, Sea People, the god of earthquakes, and mean twelve-year-old
girls all play a role in the story.
