There is no known story of the Trojan War. The Iliad, an epic poem attributed to Homer 'the blind poet of Chios' covers a few weeks of the war. Other parts are contributed in The Oddessy (also attributed to Homer), Virgil's Aenead (another 700 years later), classical tragedies, plus a myriad of minor sources.

It would if it was genuine, but it couldn't be. The story of the Trojan War grew up as a growing wide variety of stories sung by the bards over 500 years. Every bard had his own different version, So a written piece would be only one of hundreds of versions. There is thus no original stoy/history. And of course the story would need hundreds of pieces of pottery. The piece would be a curiosity.

Is the Trojan War only Greek mythology?
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.
