The most frequently cited and well-known of the accounts come from Homer and Virgil. Homer wrote the Iliad, which covered the final year of the siege of Troy, and The Odyssey, which is more or less a sequel, covering the events after the fall of Troy and the return of Odysseus to his home.

Virgil wrote the Aeneid, which was an account of the fall of Troy and the travels of a small band of refugees led by Aeneas.
