The sources For the Trojan War come from the bards who sang the epic poems about it. There is no direct historical source, and the site Archaeology is confusing. A myth is a fictional story made up to explain things about which nothing is known - eg the Creation Myth. A legend is a traditional story believed to be true. History is an analysis of evidence which attempts of produce a factual account. Obviously the Trojan War is legend. From the bardic material available, it seems that there was a decade of concerted piratical raiding by the Greek peoples of the coast of what is now called Turkey. At the end of it, when the coast had been thoroughly pillaged, a trading city called Troy (or Ilium) was captured and destroyed. The story made popular telling around the fires at night at a time when there was no television.
