Return to Troy presents essays by American and European classical scholars on the Director’s Cut of Troy , a Hollywood film inspired by Homer’s Iliad . The book addresses major topics that are important for any twenty-first century representation of ancient Greek myth and literature in the visual media, not only in regard to Troy : the portrayals of gods, heroes, and women; director Wolfgang Petersen’s epic technique; anachronisms and supposed mistakes; the fall of Troy in classical literature and on screen; and the place of the Iliad in modern popular culture. Unique features are an interview with the director, a report on the complex filming process by his personal assistant, and rare photographs taken during the original production of Troy .

Der Krieg um Troja ist Gegenstand von Homers großem Epos Ilias - doch gibt es aus der Antike auch ,alternative Geschichten' dazu: Die lateinischsprachigen Autoren Dictys und Dares nämlich behaupten, Augenzeugenberichte zu bieten und damit authentischer als Homer über Troja zu berichten. Da die griechischsprachige Ilias im Mittelalter und bis zur frühen Neuzeit nicht zugänglich war, haben die beiden lateinischen Werke zudem größte Bedeutung für die Rezeption des Troja-Stoffs bis in die frühe Neuzeit. In den letzten Jahren sind Papyri gefunden worden, die als griechische Vorlagen der lateinischen Werke gelten. Die mit einer ausführlichen Einleitung erschlossene Tusculum-Ausgabe bietet diese Funde erstmals zweisprachig und ermöglicht gemeinsam mit der zweisprachigen Präsentation der Werke von Dictys und Dares einen neuen Zugang zu ,alternativen Geschichten' von Troja. The Trojan War is the subject of Homer's Iliad, but there have also been 'alternative accounts' handed down since Antiquity. The Latin authors Dictys and Dares claimed to offer eyewitness accounts, asserting that they provided an authentic version of history. Since the Iliad was not read during the Middle Ages due to the poor knowledge of Greek, these two works have taken on a major significance for the reception of the events.

Book XXII recounts the climax of the Iliad: the fatal encounter between the main defender of Troy and the greatest warrior of the Greeks, which results in the death of Hector and Achilles' revenge for the death of his friend Patroclus. At the same time it adumbrates Achilles' own death and the fall of Troy. This edition will help students and scholars better appreciate this key part of the epic poem. The introduction summarises central debates in Homeric scholarship, such as the circumstances of composition and the literary interpretation of an oral poem, and offers synoptic discussions of the structure of the Iliad, the role of the narrator, similes and epithets. There is a separate section on language, which provides a compact list of the most frequent Homeric characteristics. The commentary offers up-to-date linguistic guidance, and elucidates narrative techniques, typical elements and central themes.

A partire dalla metà del Trecento, una gran parte dei temi narrativi della grande letteratura europea, ma anche molti materiali folclorici, storici e religiosi, furono tradotti in versi nelle ottave canterine. Tra i cantari antichi, databili cioè entro il XIV secolo, la Guerra di Troia è un esempio del tutto singolare, per le sue ampie dimensioni e per la sua dipendenza da fonti scritte. Quasi un poema, pur nelle vesti di un cantare, essa è prova del grande impatto che ebbero, non solo presso il pubblico dei mercanti, ma anche presso uditorî piú vasti, materie fortunatissime come quella troiana, che a partire dal Roman de Troie di Benoît de Sainte-Maure (XII secolo) si sono spinte dal centro alla periferia della letteratura romanza medievale.
