Review


"Latacz's treatment of his topic is stimulating, often insightful, thought-provoking, and controversial." --Near Eastern Archaeology


"Latacz not only presents new evidence for the connection between Homer and Troy, but reveals the subtle and rigorous logic ('balancing the probabilities') that, applied to new archaeological evidence, leads to these conclusions. Latacz plots like a crime novelist. Fans of Simon Winchester will love him."--Tom D'Evelyn, Providence Journal (Favorite Books of 2004)


"Joachim Latacz, the best Homeric scholar writing in German, brings the field up to date in Troy and Homer: Towards the Solution of an Old Mystery by synthesizing the latest views of the Hittite tablets and the recent excavations at Troy. The story is well told, with excellent maps and chronological tables and illustrations; the reader is kept on tenterhooks throughout."--Times Literary Supplement


"Troy and Homer, by Joachim Latacz, pushes a case that is as thrilling as its prose is measured."--Independent on Sunday


"Throughout Troy and Homer, potentially daunting intricacies of argument and evidence are mitigated by the translators' serviceable prose and the author's provision of many charts, maps, plans, and explicit section and subsection headings. These help make a meaty volume readily intelligible to a broad non-specialist readership, Latacz's stated target audience, but scholars and serious students, too, will appreciate this exciting and up-to-date overview of the current state of Troy research."--New England Classical Journal
