it is common to find objects at or orbiting the and points of natural orbital systems. these are commonly called "trojans". in the 20th century, asteroids discovered orbiting at the sun–jupiter and points were named after characters from homer's "iliad". asteroids at the point, which leads jupiter, are referred to as the "greek camp", whereas those at the point are referred to as the "trojan camp".
