Roberto Salinas Price
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roberto Salinas Price (1938 in Mexico City - August 13, 2012 in Mexico City) was a Mexican author and amateur scholar of Homer.
Salinas comes from an industrialist family, his father was co-founder of the furniture company Salinas y Rocha (today Grupo Salinas). Salinas was occupied with the Iliad and the Odyssey since his youth. He worked as a hotelier and restaurateur for 20 years before devoting himself entirely to his Homer studies.[citation needed] He was a member of the Mont Pelerin Society.[1]
Theory
Salinas advocates a theory that Troy was located on the border of southern Dalmatia coast and Herzegovina in village of Gabela (between towns of Čapljina and Metković). He justifies this with numerous references and inconsistencies in Homer's epics.[2] In the specialist science this theory is not taken seriously.[3]
