Synopsis: DVD EXPLORES ANCIENT MYTHS, MYSTERIESTHAT INSPIRED HOLLYWOOD MOVIE TROY
WASHINGTON, D.C., 30 April 2004—In anticipation of the blockbuster film set for for release on 14 May 2004, National Geographic takes an inside look at the ancient myths and unsolved mysteries that inspired the movie Troy in the new DVD National Geographic Beyond the Movie: Troy. Through dramatic recreations, interviews and expert analysis, the film traces the legend of Troy to the people, places and events behind what has been called the greatest love story ever told and the most sweeping war epic in history.
Was there a great Trojan War? Was it a battle over love or commerce, and what ultimately destroyed this once great city? Some questions have already been answered, but even more have yet to be resolved. One thing is for sure: The story Homer told thousands of years ago appears to be based upon more than a poet's imagination.
Comparing fact to fiction, the film reveals a complex story of ancient stones, masked skeletons and stolen gold, perhaps even more fantastic than Homer's original tale.
The journey begins with eccentric businessman Heinrich Schliemann, who would later be heralded as the father of archaeology. Obsessed with proving the veracity behind Homer's epic poems, Schliemann traveled from northwestern Turkey to Greece in pursuit of the lost cities of Mycenae and Troy. In the process, he discovered much more, including treasures dating a thousand years before the time of the reputed Trojan War — treasures that would later become the subject of intrigue and the source of conflict among various counties laying claim to them.
But while Schliemann was able to uncover some remarkable finds, it was not until a century later that teams from the University of Tübingen and the University of Cincinnati unearthed information revealing the true size and scope of the ancient city of Troy.
The DVD Beyond the Movie: Troy includes a supplemental feature, "Recreating Troy: Behind the Scenes with National Geographic," which provides a look at the access, locations and recreations that attempt to bring ancient Troy to life.
