Troy is immortalized in Homer’s “Iliad,” a story about the siege of Troy by the Greeks. It’s the one with the beautiful Helen, the idiot Paris, and the (almost) invincible Achilles. It’s also the story that involves the Trojan horse. While the siege and characters may be myth, the city of Troy is certainly real, as is evidence of attack and razing. The city, however, was thought to be completely fictional until it was discovered in 1868 by the wealthy German archeologist Heinrich Schliemann.
