Troy was a very important city because there is a myth about it. They say that there was a beautiful woman called Helen. She was forced to marry someone, and she didn't like him very much. Then one day, she fell in love with a strong man called Paris. They both ran away to Troy from Greece, and when the people of Athens found she was missing, they sailed over to Troy and went to battle with them. For 10 years straight, they fought and Troy was winning. The Greeks tricked Troy into thinking that they surrendered. The Greeks built a tall, wooden horse and left it on the shore of Troy. Back then, that was a sign of surrender. Little did they know that 30 Greek soldiers were hiding inside of it. The people of Troy decided to take it into the gates of their city, and leave it there because it was beautiful. Late that same night, the Greek soldiers sneaked out of the horse and attacked the city. Other ships from Greece came in and opened the gate. After that night, the whole city of Troy was burned and destroyed. They took Helen back, and no one else survived.
It was located on the Hellespont, which was the sea gateway from the Mediterranean and Black Sea trade. Ships replenished food and water, and were laid up there in adverse weather, so there was plenty of demand for the products Troy could offer.
It was the stopover port on the sea trade route from Greece to the Black Sea and made sales to the ships holed up fro tidal changes and weather abatement.
It was at a trading crossroads between the Mediterranean and Black Seas, and consequently rich and a prime target for a Greek looting expedition.
