trojan war
the historicity of the trojan war is still subject to debate. most classical greeks thought that the war was a historical event, but many believed that the homeric poems had exaggerated the events to suit the demands of poetry. for instance, the historian thucydides, who is known for being critical, considers it a true event but doubts that 1,186 ships were sent to troy. euripides started changing greek myths at will, including those of the trojan war. near year 100 ad, dio chrysostom argued that while the war was historical, it ended with the trojans winning, and the greeks attempted to hide that fact. around 1870 it was generally agreed in western europe that the trojan war had never happened and troy never existed. then heinrich schliemann popularized his excavations at hisarlik, which he and others believed to be troy, and of the mycenaean cities of greece. today many scholars agree that the trojan war is based on a historical core of a greek expedition against the city of troy, but few would argue that the homeric poems faithfully represent the actual events of the war.
