From Schliemann\u0027s initial cavalier bulldozing of the mound at Hisarlik, to Homer\u0027s epics, the Hittite Empire, and the role of slave women, Wood journeys back and forth across the Aegean and elsewhere, from a pre-unification Berlin to Liverpool, to illuminate the dawn of Western literature, myth, and history. Did the Trojan war ever happen, or was the city destroyed by natural causes? Wood doesn\u0027t claim to find a definitive answer, of course, but for the viewer it\u0027s rewarding enough simply to accompany him on this fascinating journey.","wins":0,"nominations":null,"casts":[{"name":"Michael Wood","code":"nm0939888","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Peter Connolly","code":"nm1618723","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Jerome Sperling","code":"nm0818320","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Colin Renfrew","code":"nm1575132","characters":"Self"},{"name":"Michael Ventris","code":"nm1617343","characters":"Self"},{"name":"John Chadwick","code":"nm1616480","characters":"Self"}],"budget":null,"lifetimeGross":null,"openingWeekendGross":null,"worldwideGross":null,"keywords":[{"text":"trojan war"},{"text":"iliad"},{"text":"ancient history"},{"text":"ancient troy"},{"text":"archaeology"}],"production":[{"id":"co0043107","text":"British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC)"}],"prestigiousAwardSummary":{"nominations":1,"wins":0,"award":{"text":"Primetime Emmy","id":"aw0002214","event":{"id":"ev0000223"}}},"moreLikeThisTitles":[{"code":"tt0272979","title":"In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great"},{"code":"tt5361834","title":"The Story of China"},{"code":"tt7249288","title":"In Search of the Dark Ages"},{"code":"tt0862591","title":"In Search of Myths and Heroes"},{"code":"tt0398492","title":"In Search of Shakespeare"},{"code":"tt4695454","title":"King Alfred and the Anglo Saxons"},{"code":"tt1333069","title":"Christina: A Medieval Life"},{"code":"tt1333053","title":"The Story of India"},{"code":"tt1735365","title":"Michael Wood\u0027s Story of England"},{"code":"tt0291114","title":"Conquistadors"},{"code":"tt0332452","title":"Troy"}]}
