#whrite2earn #TORY Troy was an ancient city located in what is now northwestern Turkey, famously known from the Iliad, Homer's epic poem, which recounts part of the Trojan War—a conflict between the Greeks (Achaeans) and the city of Troy. According to legend, the war began after Paris of Troy abducted Helen, the wife of the Spartan king Menelaus. The war culminated in the Greeks using a clever ruse—the Trojan Horse—to infiltrate and ultimately destroy the city.

The most famous iteration of Troy, linked to the events in the Iliad, is thought to correspond to a city that existed around the 12th or 13th century BCE.
