FINDING AKHAIA — or, Who Sacked Troy, and When?
Was the Iliad a true story? And if so, where did it actually take place?
In this groundbreaking study, Physical Geographer Dr. Ulf Erlingsson applies a rigorous scientific lens to the oldest mystery in Western literature. By analyzing the Iliad’s “Catalogue of Ships” line by line—and letter by letter—he reconstructs the lost geography of the Bronze Age.
Dr. Erlingsson’s scientific background is in the post-glacial evolution of Southern Scandinavia, including sea-level and climate shifts of the last 15,000 years. His findings reveal a forgotten reality: the vast majority of Homeric sites are found not in the Mediterranean, but in Scandinavia—preserved through millennia in both name and landscape.
From Boiotian Hyria to the “dwindling” lands of Phthia, this first volume in the Homeros World-series maps the real-world Akhaian coalition at the time of the fall of Troy II.
