Trojan Horse (not the computer virus)

May 23, 2008


This is not about Istanbul but I want to show you guys some pictures from my trip. Truva - Troy as you know it- is one of the places I visited. I am sure you know the myth about Trojan War between Greeks and Trojans. Troy is in Çanakkale - Turkish city. There are lots of original archaeological remainings of Troy cities of different archaeological levels. However, this horse is symbolical. I don't know exactly when it is built but it gives you the great feeling of ancient times.

You can see me in it looking from the window and I guess that makes me Greek soldier, huh?

Well hello up there! What a great photo, and so very interesting to all of us who read as children about the famous Trojan horse, read the epic tales about Troy's struggles and fall, and have seen plays about these stories. Thank you for this visual reminder.

Great blog! I was in Turkey years ago. Troy was not one of my favourite stops, though. Loved Gallipolis!
