It is widely accepted that Troy fell in the 12th century, about 1184 BCE. The Odyssey and the Iliad were most likely written between 800 and 700 BCE. Herodotus writes that he believed Homer lived in the 9th or 8th century and therefore his writings were most likely recorded in the same time period.
