The tale of the Trojan War has fascinated and intrigued people for thousands of years. But is there any truth in Homer's epic poem? Have we discovered the site of the once mighty Troy? Did Helen, Achilles and Agamemnon ever exist? What was the significance of the famous wooden horse? In six fascinating episodes, charismatic historian Michael Wood brings to life the heroes and romance of the Bronze Age in this award-winning archaeological detective story filmed in Greece, Turkey, Ireland and Berlin.
