Barry Strauss, professor of history and classics at Cornell University, has written an exciting new book that uses the latest archeological evidence to recreate what it was really like to do battle during the Trojan War. How was the city of Troy defended? How did they use chariots? What did they really wear for armor? Was there an actual Trojan Horse? On this episode of Inquiry we join Achilles, Odysseus, Ajax, Paris, Menelaus, and that infamous hussy Helen on the field of destiny for the ultimate battle of the ancient world. Professor's Strauss' book is titled "The Trojan War: A New History."

Homer first wrote of the Trojan war in The Iliad, a story filled with enduring characters: Helen, Paris, Achilles, Hector and Odysseus, to name but a few. And it ends with one of the great misdirection moves in the annals of martial affairs.

How much of this fabled conflict is true and how much is myth?

Author Barry Strauss, who previously impressed the critics with his book Battle of Salamis: The Naval Encounter That Saved Greece and Western Civilization, revisits the classic material in The Trojan War: A New History.
