Homer: Wurde das Trojanische Pferd jahrtausendelang falsch verstanden? | Ganze Doku

For ten years, Troy's mighty walls withstood the Greek onslaught. Then, the seemingly departing warriors left behind a giant wooden horse. Inside, Odysseus and his best fighters lurked, so the myth goes. But was the Trojan Horse really a horse? Underwater archaeologist Francesco Tiboni examines Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, ancient manuscripts, depictions, and shipwrecks. One enigmatic phrase takes center stage: "Dourateos Hippos." Did Homer mean a wooden horse or a ship built of planks with a horse's head? Engineers are reconstructing the wooden horse as a war machine, archaeologists are searching the ruins of Troy for traces of its downfall, and finds from Malta and the Uluburun shipwreck demonstrate how closely seafaring, trade, gifts, and tribute were intertwined in the Bronze Age. The documentary follows Odysseus's most famous trick, from Homer to Virgil, and examines a surprising theory: Was the Trojan Horse a "horse of the sea"? An unsolved mystery between myth, archaeology, and historical truth. DOCUMENTARY ABOUT | #odyssey #homer #greekmythology #troya #odysseus Release year: 2021 __________ Knowledge begins with...
