Schliemann later claimed he had declared that he would one day excavate the city of Troy at the tender age of seven. It was actually Calvert who identified Hissarlik as Troy and suggested Schliemann dig there on land owned by Calvert’s family. Schliemann later admitted fabricating it; at the time of the discovery, Sophia was in fact with her family in Athens following the death of her father. Schliemann proudly published his work describing the great discovery, Troy and Its Remains, in 1874. Criticism of Schliemann—both deserved and undeservedFurther excavation of the Troy site by others indicated that the level that he had named the Troy of the Iliad was inaccurate although they still retain the names given by Schliemann.
