Trojan War

The Trojan War was a legendary conflict in Greek mythology that took place around the 12th or 13th century BC, waged by the Achaeans against the city of Troy after Paris took Helen from her husband Menelaus. The war was described in various works of Greek literature, including Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, which narrated different aspects of the conflict. The ancient Greeks believed Troy was located near the Dardanelles, but its historical existence was questioned until the 19th century, when excavations confirmed its location at Hisarlık in modern-day Turkey. The historicity of the Trojan War remains debated among scholars, with some believing that the Homeric stories are based on a historical core, while others date the conflict to the 12th or 11th century BC.learn more on wikipedia
