Heinrich Schliemann

Thesis: Saki, in The Interlopers says, We are trapped by our own ill will; to be free of it we need to put aside our violence by making peace and realizing the unimportance of it. We focus on ill will and let it consume us. As did Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym did, “as boys they had thirsted for one another’s blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other.” (Saki 7) They were raised into despising one another due to their family’s feud (that started generations ago…

Poetry and thought are often interpreted as too lofty for the realm of politics, a realm dominated power (Berlin: 2004). Yet memory, as elaborated by poets should always be an exercise in education. The value of narrative, writing, and poetry is high. For ‘the very fact that so great of an enterprise as the Trojan War could have been forgotten without a poet to immortalize it several hundred years later offered only too good an example of what could happen to human greatness if it had nothing…

The Marquise of O- by Heinrich von Kleist is a story chock-full of secrets and unsaid ideas, such as the ambiguity of details regarding Giulietta’s possible rape. Furthermore, if every word isn’t read with the utmost attention, something major will slip notice. Specifically, when Giulietta is talking to her midwife, whom she has called in to hopefully deny her illegitimate pregnancy, she briefly states that she “conceived knowingly” (Kleist 91). This can be surprising after a second reading, as…

pretty good. Mistakes are needed for discovery,Heinrich Schliemann found out and Percy Spencer. Heinrich Schliemann was an archaeologist and was reckless when it came to digging. Percy Spencer left a candy bar in his pocket near a Magnetron and made a discovery which lead to the microwave. On the other hand, mistakes can be pretty costly. But still mistakes lead to progress. First of all, Heinrich Schliemann started of as an adventurer with a dream. Heinrich was self taught and didn’t have a…

shows that our current knowledge of the famous ancient city of Troy is based on Homer’s writings and archaeological discoveries made by the German archaeologist and excavator Heinrich Schliemann. Many have agreed that Homer should be acknowledged as a legitimate source of historical reference and therefore, so should Schliemann. It is widely assumed the real reason for the Trojan War was due to the desire to dominate the trade industry by controlling the trade from Asia into the Aegean Sea.…

In order to prove that Troy, the ancient city in Homer's Iliad, was true, an amateur German archeologist named Heinrich Schliemann excavated a hill, Hissarlik, in, back then, the Ottoman Empire, in the year 1871. He found which is believed to be Troy, and several other cities from the Bronze Age to the Roman period. And either on or about May 27, 1873, Schliemann reported, "In excavating this wall further and directly by the side of the palace of King Priam, I came upon a large copper article of…
