Palace Of Homer's Hero Rises Out Of Myths

The Times (UK) ^ | 3-28-2006 | John Carr

[tet68]

Who of us could take the deprivation of living like a king in the days of the Iliad?

Well, it sure would beat living like a commoner...

How could it be a virgin tract of pine woods if the palace was found lower down?

Because the oldest trees in it sprouted long after the place was in ruins and haven't been cut since the first sprouted. It is not known if there was a forest there before construction.
