The stories in the epics are a product of the bards who made them up. This is based on bardic material first written down about 725 BCE, but stretching back for about six hundred years before. Like all such traditions, it is difficult to separate out fact from fiction and embellishment.
From internal evidence in the epics and later traditions, correlated with archaeological evidence, it seems that there was an extended period of piratical raids by Greek peoples throughout the Aegean islands and the coast of Asia Minor. The final target was Troy, which had grown rich on supplying and taxing the commercial ships which lay up in the Dardanelles waiting favourable tides and winds.
As for all the rest, the bards made it what it came down to us as, and very popular their performances were in a pre-television era. And just as people today think what they see on television is true, so with the audiences of the bards.
