The Illiad/Odyssey was written around the 8th century BC.

The War was around 400 years earlier.

Actually, both were probably in the 13th century BC, about 1250 — though the Trojan War might have been a bit later, ca. 1175 BC (see my new book out on the Trojan War and a previous book that I published on biblical mysteries, including the Exodus)...And, do forgive my intrusion, but it IS my article that you posted which started this thread. :-) We’re currently still at Kabri, about to start the last week of excavation for this summer...Thanks for your interest in the topic...
