I started to build my theories about Greek history in 2000, challenged by my girlfriend and a friend, who did not believe in the theory of Iman Wilkens that Troy was located in England. I started to gather all the possible evidence to sustain this theory, inspired by my father, who believed that Wilkens was a genius. I had ample material to start with, given that my mother had been a teacher of history and had many shelves with history books. Gradually I started to develop my own theories, which were more and more in line with the classical theories of professional historians. However, I also developed deeper insights that were not represented in the literature. Research on the internet taught me that these insights are still not available today. The book “The Alpha-tradition: On the origin of Greek stories” already reveals some of them.
Category: Homeric traditions
The English version of “De Alpha-traditie” is now also available: The Alpha-tradition: On the origin of Greek stories. It is more oriented toward scholars as compared to the Dutch version. In particular, the chapter with background knowledge and the bibliography have been extended. The prices are a bit unequal, seemingly dependent on where you live on planet Earth. The reason is that Amazon does not allow me to set a lower price and sets an even higher price than the price I selected. Luckily the epub ebook version is much cheaper (2.99 euro), and the PDF ebook version above is free. An extra advantage of the epub ebook is that the oral characteristics in the analyzed Homeric passages are hyperlinked to their concept description and explanation.
As of yet, the Alpha-tradition can be found in the following places:
