Actually, the article author could do well to take a good Greek literature class himself.
The burning and destruction of Troy was foretold as a fate... in the Iliad—— but NOT reported there.
(Neither was it reported in the Odyssey — though there are four books of the Odyssey with partial recollections of the battle, etc.)
The actual fall and burning of Troy are detailed in the Epic Cycle, specifically a lost poem known as the Iliupersis (The Sack of Ilium), as well as in later works like Virgil’s Aeneid.
