The topic of this two-day interdisciplinary conference was Renaissance visions and revisions of Troy, a city whose siege and destruction were reconceived in art, in history, and in imperial myths of origin throughout Renaissance Europe. Papers focused on the varying manifestations of the Troy myth as it was revisited by Continental and English Renaissance artists, historians, poets, dramatists, musicians, translators, printers, humanists, et al.
