1250 BC : The Trojan War seen through the eyes of the women of Troy
Three thousand years ago a war took place that gave birth to legends – to Achilles, the greatest of the Greeks, and Hector, prince of Troy. It was a war that shook the very foundations of the world. But what if there was more to this epic conflict? What if there was another, hidden tale of the Trojan War?
Now is the time for the women of Troy to tell their story. For the Most Beautiful reveals the true story of true for the first time. The story of Krisayis, daughter of the Trojans’ High Priest, and of Briseis, princess of Pedasus, who fight to determine the fate of a city and its people in this ancient time of mischievous gods and mythic heroes.
The city of Troy is extremely important in the early stages of European civilization. It is particularly critical regarding how the relations between Anatolia, the Aegean, and the Balkans has developed over the years since it’s at the exact point where the three cultures met.
The site alone has more than 4,000 years of history. It’s now a UNESCO world heritage site
Troy is located on the mound of Hisarlık, which overlooks the plain along the Turkish Aegean coast. Troy has acted as a cultural bridge between the Troas region and the Balkans, Anatolia, the Aegean and Black Sea regions for many centuries through migration, occupation, trade and the transmission of knowledge.
