If one were to take Homer at his word, sending 100,000+ troops to a Troy of a few goatherders and migrant olive pickers wouldn’t make sense. Wouldn’t have been any need for an epic like the Iliad. A quick sound bite on the late news about a smash and grab on the corner of Grape and Vine would’ve covered it.

Troy and the Trojan War have always interested me.

It seems that the more they find out, the closer the Iliad was to the truth, not that I think it was totally accurate since a lot of it talks about Gods and Goddesses fighting on one side or the other.
