PROLOGUE This book is based on Homer’s books Iliad and Odyssey. While Iliad describes the war of the peoples of Achaea and Troia, Odyssey tells the journey of king Ulysseus, who participated in the Trojan war, to the Caucasus, the homeland of his ancestors, and to the Land of the Dead there. This work is divided into two parts. The first chapter discusses the main tribes that supported the Trojan king Priam and their historical relations with the Caucasus. Here the attention was focused on the Thracians, Thraco-Phrygians, Pelasgians, Celts, Mysians, Libyans, Lydians, Carians, and other related tribes who supported the king of Troy, Priam. In the second chapter Homer’s Odyssey is studied. In this book, Homer described the journey of the king of Argos, Ulysseus (Odysseus), who returned to his homeland after the Trojan War. Although it is generally believed that Ulysseus made this voyage in the Mediterranean basin, in our opinion, this voyage took place in the Black Sea basin. I am deeply indebted to Dr. Nilgün Elam for a rigorous pre-reading and editing the Turkish version as well as its English version of this book. She also dedicated her time to checking the quotations from the ancient Greek texts and controlling the related terminology. I am extremely grateful to Mr. Mehmet Gönen for translating the Turkish text into English. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Mr. Hakan Candemir for the technical support in the preparation of the e-book. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Mr. Enes Özkan for dedicating his technical skills to the design of the cover of the book. I wish you a good reading … (Balkar) Selçuk Bağlar March 2023 Van/Turkey

“A most insightful treatment of the seemingly mythic events that make up part of the foundation of Western history . . . an excellent book.” —The NYMAS Review Thirty-three hundred years ago, Agamemnon, king of Mycenae in Greece, attacked the city of Troy in western Anatolia. The bloody siege that followed gave rise to one of the most famous legends of the ancient world, and the search for the truth behind the legend has intrigued scholars ever since. In this fascinating new investigation, Rodney Castleden reconsiders all the evidence in order to establish the facts and give a historical basis to the most potent myth of ancient warfare.

The Trojan War is one of history's most famous conflicts, a ten-year-long war waged over the beautiful Helen. For more than two thousand years this story has been a source of artistic inspiration. But is it true? In The Trojan War historian and classicist Barry Strauss explores the myth and the reality behind the war, from Homer's accounts in The Iliad and The Odyssey to Heinrich Schliemann's discovery of ancient Troy in the late nineteenth century to more recent excavations that have yielded intriguing clues to the story behind the fabled city. The Trojans, it turns out, were not ethnic Greeks but an Anatolian people closely allied with the Hittite Empire to the east. At the time of the Trojan War the Greeks were great seafarers while Troy was a more settled civilization. And while the cause of the war may well have been the kidnapping of a queen-and, more significantly, the seizure of her royal dowry-the underlying cause was a conflict between the Trojans and the Greeks for control of the eastern Aegean Sea. Through vivid reconstructions of the battles and insightful depictions of its famous characters, The Trojan War reveals the history behind Homer's great epic, without losing the poetry and grandeur of the epic myth.

In fact, Hades was the homeland of the ancient Greeks. For this reason, they believed that the soul of every Greek who died went to their ancestral homeland. The Greeks people are originated from the middle Caucasus, and Greek mythology belongs to the eastern Caucasus, because Caron, the boatman, who transferred the souls of the dead to Hades, crossing the Terek river, which emptied into the Caspian Sea, and took the souls to their homeland, the central Caucasus. The Greeks, who worshipped Zeus, lost the wars they fought against the neighbouring tribes that worshipped the Titans and they were exiled from the Caucasus. The ancient Greeks, who settled in Crete and Hellas, maintained the cult of Zeus until today. The Circassians, the autochthonous people of the Caucasus, jealously preserved the myths of the Titans in their mythology. This book compares the narratives of the gods of Mount Olympus with the gods of Mount Harama Ouasha, the home of the Titans, as called by the Circassian people. In this book, in which Circassian Mythology of Narts is compared with Greek Mythology, you will witness the parallelization between the Mediterranean Greek with the Caucasian Circassian civilizations and the mythical origins of these two worlds. This book will make you revisit many of the stories you thought you knew about Greek mythology. This book is the first (leg) of the book series of the author written on Circassian Nart Mythology.

A cinematic tale of passion, war, loyalty, betrayal, and retribution “These events I relate are the living seeds, and they will bear bloody fruit, I promise.” So says Ulysses, King of Ithaca, as he recounts the origins of the Trojan War. Renowned Greek mythologist Bernard Evslin masterfully depicts the ten-year war: its beginnings rooted in discord among the gods; the seduction of the famed beauty Helen of Troy; and the spectacular development of the Trojan Horse, Ulysses’ cunning ploy to win the war. Evslin brings to life the dramatic twists and turns of this classic tale of human folly, mortal heroism, and the brutality and brilliance that have come down through the ages.
