Is there any truth to the legend of Helen of Troy, the battle waged for love and the ten-year siege of the city? Since 1988, Professor Manfred Korfmann has been excavating the site of Troy, following a trail of clues to discover who actually attacked the city and why.
Ancient tablets written by a lost civilisation and a sunken ship rich in treasure go some way to reveal a story of great passion - but not, it seems, about love.
