Revisiting Troy

Looking forward to revisiting Troy, where he spent a week during his 20-year-walk around the Mediterranean Sea, at a just-opened exhibit at the British Museum in London entitled Troy: Myth and Reality.

The Idiot MedTrekked into Troy to personally explore the myth and reality of the site of the Trojan War just after he swam across the Hellespont, doing the crawl from Europe to Asia, in 2011. His exploration was recounted in The Idiot and the Odyssey II: Myth, Magic and Madness on the Mediterranean. 

 

The first thing The Idiot saw when arriving in Troy was a replica of the fabled Trojan Horse which was (and it didn’t take an archeologist or curator from the British Museum to arrive at this conclusion) definitely bogus.

 

The Troy: Myth and Reality exhibition at the British Museum runs until March 8, 2020.
