“For their first expedition they drove out to the fortress of Phyle, which had been built in the fourth century B.C. They left their carriage at the foot of the aqueduct and climbed the two-thousand-foot mountain, stopping frequently to drink in the panorama of mountains, gorges and valleys that unfolded awesomely the higher they went. They picnicked on a blanket spread beneath the ancient masonry of the fort.”
Stone tells of the saga of Sophia Engastromenos and Henry Schliemann—part love story, part tale of adventure, and part examination of the new and fascinating science of archaeology—during their search for the ancient city of Troy and the royal tombs of Mycenae.
