The Trojan Art in War

Mike Norris will take us from a 2,600-year-old Etruscan chariot to Athenian vases, Roman mosaics, 19th-century sculpture, and 20th-century paintings, the Trojan War (ca. 1200 B.C.) inspired them all. The story of the ten-year war was often told through memorized verse that was eventually written down, as was true for Homer’s epic poem the Iliad, but art helped keep it alive within the human mind.
