Did the Trojan war really take place and if so what all happened in the war?

Answer 1

The Trojan War is a legendary conflict from Greek mythology, primarily chronicled in Homer's "Iliad." While some historians believe it may have been based on a real event around the late Bronze Age, concrete evidence of an actual war is sparse. The war allegedly began over the abduction of Helen by Paris of Troy, leading to a ten-year siege by Greek forces, which ultimately culminated in the cunning use of the Trojan Horse to infiltrate and conquer the city of Troy. The war's historical accuracy remains debated, merging myth and potential historical events.
