Description

Don Tres Troí ‘On the Third Troy’ comes at the conclusion of what can tentatively be called a Trojan ‘cycle’ in Middle Irish and describes the refoundation of Troy after its destruction at the hands of the Greeks. The text traces the city’s history until it is destroyed again in the Roman era. Don Tres Troí is the result of a very original historical inquiry into the question of what became of Troy following the war immortalised in Homer’s Iliad.
