It is a story sung by the strolling bards for over 400 years before it was written down. It had many variants - each bard had his own version and indeed several verionsof his own so his audience wouldn't be bored. So what was written down in the 8th Century BCE is one version of many.
The best guess from the existing material is that the Greeks went on a 10 year looting expedition into Asia Minor, and after an initial failed attempt, came back at the end for another go at the richest city of them all - Troy.
