Trojan Wars

[Fragony]

The only reason we believe it to be Troy is because of the Homeric poem and other epic cycles relating to the sack of a city in Asia called Ilium, and very little of that poem can be traced to a truly Bronze Age world.

Bronze art can though, and extensive amounts have been found, not so much to indicate the huge town Homer speaks of, but a considerable one at least. Wether or not Troy existed isn't really a debate anymore, it's importance is subject of debate though. Look up Heinrich Schliemann.

Now, what is interesting is that we know that the most prosperous phase of the Hisarlik site was destroyed by Earthquake, not military operations. The Trojan Horse is in myth said to be how the Greeks captured the city of Ilium, horses are the animals of Poseidon, god of earthquakes.

Most think it was a fire nowadays, don't know why that is though.
