The Trojan war took place around 1180 B.C. and it was not between two city states, but between two alliances: the greek city states of Mycyne, Sparta, Argos, Ithaka, Pylos, Mermidon and others versus Troy and their allies (Thracians, Amazons, Masagetai, and so on).
Mythology states that the reason for the war was the abduction of Helen (of Troy), Queen of Sparta and wife to Menelaos by a Trojan prince named Paris. Menelaos asked his brothers' help, Agamemnon (King of Mycynes) to punish the Trojans. Agamemnon called all the greek kings to his side: Achilles of Myrmidon, Odysseus/Ulysees of Ithaka, Ajax of Telamon and others. On the other side Paris had his brother Hektor, Aineias, and others.
The war lasted 10 years. The ancient Greek poet Homer told the history of the Trojan War in a 10.000 verse poem, called the Illiad.
