Roberto Salinas Price places Troy along Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast where, he claims, geographical realities respond to geographical statements found in the Iliad and Odyssey. Furthermore, he argues, internal linguistic evidence suggests that these works were originally created in a Slavic dialect but later became translated by a bicultural society into “Homeric” Greek. However, he adds, somewhere along this process of translation the tutorial guidance necessary for an adequate understanding of these texts became lost, to the detriment of subsequent generations which never understood that the Iliad and Odyssey were sister compositions never intended to be separated from each other. The hypothesis is well-known throughout ex-Yugoslavia since it was first formulated in 1985.
