SUMMARY:The First Pagan Historian
DESCRIPTION:This lecture examines several episodes in the neglected 15
 00-year afterlife of the forged "De excidio Troiae historia" or "Histo
 ry of the Destruction of Troy" of pseudo-Dares Phrygius. Although the 
 Latin "De excidio" was a late antique fabrication composed most likely
  in the fifth or sixth century CE\, its author claimed to be an eyewit
 ness to the Trojan War\, whose account of the conflict openly contradi
 cted such canonical sources as Virgil and Homer. Deemed by many to be 
 the first pagan to write history\, Dares infiltrated numerous domains 
 of literary culture in medieval and early modern Europe.
