  • James Hutton's Reputation Among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries

    James Hutton's Reputation Among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries

    The Geological Society of America Memoir 216 Revising the Revisions: James Hutton’s Reputation among Geologists in the Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries A. M. Celâl Şengör* İTÜ Avrasya Yerbilimleri Enstitüsü ve Maden Fakültesi, Jeoloji Bölümü, Ayazağa 34469 İstanbul, Turkey ABSTRACT A recent fad in the historiography of geology is to consider the Scottish polymath James Hutton’s Theory of the Earth the last of the “theories of the earth” genre of publications that had begun developing in the seventeenth century and to regard it as something behind the times already in the late eighteenth century and which was subsequently remembered only because some later geologists, particularly Hutton’s countryman Sir Archibald Geikie, found it convenient to represent it as a precursor of the prevailing opinions of the day. By contrast, the available documentation, pub- lished and unpublished, shows that Hutton’s theory was considered as something completely new by his contemporaries, very different from anything that preceded it, whether they agreed with him or not, and that it was widely discussed both in his own country and abroad—from St. Petersburg through Europe to New York. By the end of the third decade in the nineteenth century, many very respectable geologists began seeing in him “the father of modern geology” even before Sir Archibald was born (in 1835). Before long, even popular books on geology and general encyclopedias began spreading the same conviction. A review of the geological literature of the late eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries shows that Hutton was not only remembered, but his ideas were in fact considered part of the current science and discussed accord- ingly.

The Trojan War, if happened, took place centuries before Homer wrote down the Iliad in about 800 BC on the basis of an oral tradition which goes back to the Mycenaean period (1600-1100 BC) But if it happened, it was quite different from the war described by the Greek myths, because the Iliad is a literary work.

  • How Archaeologists Found the Lost City of Troy

    How Archaeologists Found the Lost City of Troy

    How archaeologists found the lost city of Troy This doomed city at the heart of the Trojan War was lost for thousands of years until a team of German archaeologists uncovered the ancient site. HEINRICH SCHLIEMANN, THE German archaeologist, was in Turkey in the late 19th century on an eccentric quest. He was excavating a tell—an artificial mound that covers long abandoned settlements. The site, known as Hisarlik, was familiar to only a few specialists. But as Schliemann dug, he was pinning his hopes on finding the ruins of the most famous city in classical literature: Troy. PHOTOGRAPH BY EOSGIS . C O M The trouble was that Troy might not even have existed. The acclaimed Greek poet Homer popularized the Trojans and their city in The Iliad and The Odyssey, the 8th-century B.C. epic poems. These works told the story of a 10-year war between Greece and Troy, fought by such timeless characters as the kings Priam and Agamemnon, the warriors brave Hector and mighty Achilles, and the survivors crafty Odysseus and loyal Aeneas. The poems tell of bloody battles, fantastic adventures, heroic deeds, and tragic consequences. But was Troy a real place? Schliemann set out to prove it was. (Homer's Iliad contains timeless lessons of war.) And he did. Hisarlik is now widely accepted as the setting for Homer’s epic tales. Studies have revealed that the 100-foot-high mound contains not just one, but nine Troys, each built over the ruins of the one before. Today archaeologists consider Troy VI—the sixth counting from the bottom up—to be the likeliest candidate for Homer’s Troy.

    BOOK REVIEWS Joachim Latacz, Troy and Homer: Towards a Solution o f an Old Mystery, Translated from the German by Kevin Windle and Rosh Ireland, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004. xix + 342 pages, map + 24 figures. ISBN 0-19-926308-6. Joachim Latacz’s spellbinding book, translated by Kevin Windle and Rosh Ireland, offers an up- to-date answer to the old question: is the Homeric Troy fictional or historical? At the heart of Troy and Homer lies Hisarlik, the mound in northwestern Turkey that Heinrich Schliemann (1870-90) and Wilhelm Dörpfeld (1893-94) memorialized as the site of Homer’s Troy. Should Denys Page’s scholarly Histoiy and the Homeric Iliad (1959) or Michael Wood’s television series In Search of the Trojan War (1985) leap to mind, Latacz would reply that only in the past decade or so has the historicity of Homer’s Troy been subject to ‘proof (18-19).’ Troy and Homer argues that Homer’s Iliad (c.750 BCE) contains memories of thirteenth-century Troy. Paradoxically, the evi­ dence supporting this claim also offers a Late Bronze Age Anatolian perspective on Troy that counterbalances the later viewpoint of the Greek victor found in the Iliad. Initially, Schliemann believed that the ‘Homeric’ Troy was the wealthy town now called Troy II, the second oldest of the nine ancient settlement levels currently known to archaeologists. When Troy II turned out to predate the height of Mycenaean culture by a millennium, however, the phase ending Troy VI and beginning Troy VII came to be regarded as ‘the Homeric city’ (c.
