What was the ancient city of Troy?
Troy, called Ilion by the Greeks ( whence The Iliad) was a city which was thought to be mythical until the discovery of its ruins by the German amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann in the 1800's. All of The Iliad's events are fictional, its characters are at best only semi-historical, and indeed there are several versions of the story that contradict each other in almost every detail. It is likely that a Bronze Age Trojan War was actually fought, though it would have been for economic reasons. Troy controlled the trade through the Bosphorus between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. The ruins of Troy show that the city was destroyed and rebuilt perhaps as many as ten times over many centuries. The layer called Troy VIIa is believed to be the actual city of The Iliad.
