Talk by Denys Page
Professor of Greek
In the University of Cambridge
One of the most important archaeological events of modern times was the discovery in 1907 of the capital city of the Hittite Empire in central Asia Minor. Thousands of documents were recovered and deciphered; and it has always been a controversial question whether these documents contain any mention of the Greeks-the people called Achaeans in the Homeric poems. In this talk, based on a lecture delivered in Oxford last August, Professor Page reviews the question and suggests that it is now possible to give a definite answer to it.
