How does Schliemann's literalism relate to historical interpretation?

While modern scholarship may embrace more nuanced interpretations, my approach underscores the power of belief and determination in driving discovery. It reminds us that deeply held convictions, even if later refined, can inspire monumental efforts to reconstruct history.
