Homer's depiction of Troy, particularly in "The Iliad," is a blend of historical events and mythological embellishments. Archaeological evidence indicates that a city believed to be Troy existed and was destroyed around the time period described by Homer, but many details in the epic, such as the involvement of gods and the portrayal of heroes, are likely fictional. Overall, while Homer captured some historical truths, many aspects of his narrative are symbolic or legendary rather than factual. Thus, he was right in some respects but not in others.
