Abstract

In the first volume of Tyche Edmund F. Bloedow attempts to rescue Schliemann from his detractors. In particular, he seeks to refute the charge that in his accounts of the discovery of 'Priam's Treasure' Schliemann falsified the evidence. While considering Easton's responses to my articles 'in large measure, effective', Bloedow does not wholly agree with Easton either.

Highlights

  • Bloedow refers to letters to Friedrieh Schlie and C

  • Bloedow finds it in the elose juxtaposition of the above statement with the following sentence (which he quotes in truncated form): 'The discrepancies in findspot, discovery date, the jewellery, and the gold sauceboat suggest that Schliemann's various accounts of his discovery of "Priam's Treasure", like his interview with President Fillmore and his "eyewitness" report of the 1851 fire of San Francisco, are sheer fiction, with the later accounts more elaborate and colourful than the first'

While considering Easton's responses to my articles 'in large measure, effective', Bloedow does not wholly agree with Baston either[3]. He insists repeatedly that the question of Sehliemann's veraeity needs to be viewed 'within a wider context'[4], a view with which I wholeheartedly sympathize. Let us examine the new evidence addueed by B1oedow
