Features: The Trojan War, which took place in the 12th century BC and is known in history as the "Trojan War," is a glorious page in ancient Greek history. After the war, it spread widely in various forms and became a theme for bards to sing. It is generally believed that Homer inherited and absorbed the achievements of his predecessors, creating two magnificent epic poems about the Trojan War, the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey," on the basis of previously scattered oral traditions. These works have become immortal masterpieces of European classical literature.
