Abstract

[In the western cultural tradition no story, exempting the Bible, has inspired more artists, writers, painters, sculptors and so on, than the Trojan War. This is evident from the masterpieces of paintings and sculptures already presented in the previous chapters, representing a small part only of the tradition developed through the centuries. It is remarkable that various artists place the events of the Trojan War in their own environment – country, landscape, architecture, human figures and clothing, showing that partial narratives composing the whole, have been incorporated in the traditions of various peoples. It also explains why these stories have not remained static but are constantly evolving with time, and no version can be defined as authentic, as for example is the case with the Bible.]
