The story goes that it was a looting raid by the Achaeans (Greeks) targeting western Asia Minor and the Islands, running for ten years and finishing with the capture of the richest prize, the city of Troy on the Dardanelles Strait between Asia and Europe.

Whether this is actual or not we don't know as the story was passed down by the bards who made up the stories over hundreds of years before the invention of cursive writing allowed it to be written down. So hundreds of bards each used to make up their own version, and even had several versions of their story for the sake of variety. Somewhere in this there may be some facts, but which bits we don't know.

It made a good story in the days before movies and TV to entertain people - but do you believe the stories you see in movies and TV are real and true?
