<p> The Trojan War is the subject of Homer's great epic poem <em>Iliad</em> - but there are also 'alternative stories' from antiquity: The Latin-language authors Dictys and Dares claim to offer eyewitness accounts and therefore a more authentic account of Troy than Homer. As the Greek-language <em>Iliad</em> was not accessible in the Middle Ages and until the early modern period, the two Latin works were also of the greatest importance for the reception of the Troy story up to the early modern period. </p> <p> In recent years, papyri have been found that are considered to be the Greek originals of the Latin works. The Tusculum edition, which is accompanied by a detailed introduction, offers these finds in two languages for the first time and, together with the bilingual presentation of the works of Dictys and Dares, provides new access to 'alternative histories' of Troy. </p>
