Review of Netflix’s Troy: Fall of a City

Dr. Debra Trusty, a lecturer of Classics at the University of Iowa, wrote a great review of Netflix’s Troy: Fall of A City for the Society of Classical Studies. If you have watched the show or are thinking about watching it, read the review here! Dr. Trusty works with Butler’s Dr. Kvapil as a field archaeologist through the Nemea Center of Archaeology Excavations at the Mycenaean cemetery at Aidonia and the Petsas House Excavations at Mycenae, where Butler students have traveled to do field school.

I am a senior at Butler University majoring in History and Classics, minoring in Anthropology. I am currently an intern with the Ancient Mediterranean Cultures and Archaeology (AMCA) Mobile Lab at Butler. I have been able to study abroad twice with the Classics Department, first to Italy in Summer 2016 and then to Greece in Summer 2017. I am originally from Bloomington, IN and plan to attend a post graduate program in the UK upon my graduation from Butler. My greatest accomplishment as a lab intern was working on the osteological collection held by the lab.
