The Greek Treasure tells the story of 47 year old Henry Schliemann who marries a young Greek girl and then spends the remainder of his life unearthing the city of Troy and the royal tombs of Mycenae. Against all odds, Schliemann finds tremendous treasure where scholars said there wouldn’t be anything of worth – – and yet, despite his successes, he continually confronts challenges from governments and academicians that undermine his work.
A fictionalised narrative of the determined efforts of German traveler-archaeologist, Henry Schliemann, and his second wife, Sophia Engastromenos, to excavate the sites of Homeric Troy and ancient Mycenae
