In "The Iliad," Troy is not explicitly described as the "city of gold." Instead, it is depicted as a wealthy and fortified city, known for its impressive walls and opulence. The term "city of gold" is more commonly associated with later interpretations and representations of Troy rather than Homer’s original text. The focus in "The Iliad" is more on the valor of its defenders and the tragedy of war rather than on material wealth.
