Episode 2
Hi everyone. This is Kadir, we are
back again in another podcast. In my first podcast, I have introduced you my
hometown Çanakkale. In this episod, I want to introduce some historical places in Çanakkale. Please don’t say, “Why now the boring history”, but this one is so
famous and renowned by all over the world. First let me ask, do you love
history? I love reading history and visiting places. Do you want to know which
place is it? It is Troy one of the most famous city and legend in the history.
Troy is a city which has existed over 4.000 years and known as the center of
ancient civilizations. For many years people believed that it was the city
mentioned only in the tales and never existed until it was first found in the
19th century. Troy (Truva in Turkish) is located in Hisarlik near Çanakkale province where the straits join with the Aegean Sea. Troy is famous for
several reasons. It is a site that was continually occupied from the early
Bronze Age to early Byzantine times. It is also associated with the sagas of
the Trojan War written by Homer in “the Iliad and Odyssey” which is well-known
in English literature. Homer immortalized Troy in his stories of King Priam,
Hector, Paris and the beautiful Helen. A symbolic wooden Trojan horse
commemorates the legendary war. That is all for today, we will continue this
historical information. You can follow my all the other episodes on my blog
