The Trojan War Took place around 1250 bc. Had its roots in the economic struggles between Mycenae and Troy (Turkey). Troy controlled the straits that linked the Mediterranean and Black sea.

Romantic Story of Troy The Trojan Prince Paris kidnapped Helen, the beautiful wife of a Greek king, the Mycenaean's sailed to Troy to rescue her.

Migrations in the Aegean Region (DORIANS}

The Age of Homer The Mycenaean civilization soon crumbles under the attack of the Dorian's. We get hints about what life was like during this time because of the two epic poems written by Homer.

The Iliad Written by the blind poet Homer around 750 bc. Chief source about what happened in the Trojan War Story involves god, goddesses, and even a talking horse named Pegasus. This is where we get our story about Achilles, the great Greek warrior.

The Odyssey Written by Homer Tells of the great struggles of of the Greek hero Odysseus. On his way home to his wife (Penelope) Odysseus encounters a sea monster, a race of one-eyed giants, and a beautiful sorceress who turns men into swine.
