siege and capture of the Trojan Ilium by the Greeks, a
solution would be reached very satisfactory to archae-
ologists. The remains of the burnt city would well suit
the Semitic peoples whom the Phrygians found in posses-
sion of Asia Minor when they came in. But such a view
has in it too much of paradox, and involves too many his-
torical improbabilities to be acceptable. It is very likely
that, if we wait, fresh archaeological evidence will throw
light on a matter at present so obscure, and make into a
whole the scattered facts which at present do not appear
to fit into one another.
