How does the author use foreshadowing in the biography, The Walls of Windy Troy?

An appealing literary feature of The Walls of Windy Troy is Braymer's effective use of epigraphs. Each of the twenty chapters begins with a quotation well chosen to foreshadow the theme of the chapter. Chapter 1, for instance, opens with Athena's remark to Telemachus in book II of the Odyssey: "That journey you have wanted so much to make will not be postponed any longer. For I am such a good friend of your father that I shall furnish you with a swift ship." And in the narrative that follows, the ship broker Wendt—an old friend of Schliemann's father—arranges for passage to Venezuela on the brig Dorothea.

Appropriately, all the epigraphs are drawn from Homer's chronicles of the Trojan war and its aftermath, the Iliad and the Odyssey. The introduction to chapter 15 is from Virgil's Aeneid, another epic work about a survivor of this great conflict.
