	Trojan War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Trojan War was a war waged, according to legend, against the city of Troy in Asia Minor (present-day Turkey), by the armies of the Achaeans, after Paris of Troy stole Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta.
		Troy was never completely besieged, thus it maintained communications with the interior of Asia Minor.
		Its follower Troy VIIa, destroyed by fire at some point during the 1180s, was long considered a poorer city, but since the excavation campaign of 1988 it has risen to the most likely candidate.

	Greece, A History of Ancient Greece, Troy
		The nine major periods of ancient Troy are labeled I to IX, starting from the bottom with the oldest settlement, Troy I. In periods I to VII Troy was a fortified stronghold that served as the capital of the Troad and the residence of a king, his family, officials, advisers, retinue, and slaves.
		Troy II was twice as large and had higher, sloping stone walls protecting an acropolis on which stood the king's palace and other princely residences, which were built of brick in a megaron plan.
		Troy was reoccupied and given the Hellenized name of Ilion; this Greek settlement is known as Troy VIII.

	Troy VII and the Historicity of the Trojan War
		As was the case for Troy VI, the only architecture within the walls to have escaped destruction by later building operations was found on the two lowest of the concentric terraces which characterize the Middle and Late Bronze Age citadel of Troy.
		The material culture of Troy VIIa is essentially identical to that of the preceding settlement, and the residents of Troy VIIa were therefore presumably the survivors of the earthquake which levelled Troy VIh and their immediate descendants.
		The "Coarse Ware" of Troy VIIb1 may be interpreted as identifying the sackers of Troy VIIa, a population group who crossed the Hellespont at the end of their journey from the Middle Danube through Rumania to Turkish Thrace.

		Constructing a huge hollow wooden horse and leaving it on the plain in front of Troy after they withdraw their ships the unsuspecting Trojans drag it into the city unaware that it is full of Greek soldiers who under cover of darkness climb out and open the city gates to the returning Greek army.
		The battle sequences involving hundreds of extras and the actual sack of Troy done with no computer assistance are also first rate and the historical costumes created by Roger Furse for both the lead actors and the general military scenes are the result of a huge amount of historical research into clothing of that time.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 98.2.01
		The subject of Michael Anderson's worthwhile study is the series of deeds and atrocities that occurred during the sack of Troy.
		Therefore one cannot write a comprehensive developmental history of the sack of Troy in early Greek art and literature, tracing the contributions of individual poets and artists, and the influence of particular works.
		Noteworthy also are the many observations about how the tale of the sack of Troy is echoed or alluded to in the Odyssey: how the story of Odysseus' infiltration of his own household seems to call to mind the stories of his infiltration of Troy (e.g., his meetings in disguise with Helen and Penelope).

	Hesiod, Homeric Hymns, and Homerica - Introduction Continued (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The earliest of the post-Homeric epics of Troy are apparently the "Aethiopis" and the "Sack of Ilium", both ascribed to Arctinus of Miletus who is said to have flourished in the first Olympiad (776 B.C.).
		The "Sack of Ilium" (13) as analysed by Proclus was very similar to Vergil's version in "Aeneid" ii, comprising the episodes of the wooden horse, of Laocoon, of Sinon, the return of the Achaeans from Tenedos, the actual Sack of Troy, the division of spoils and the burning of the city.
		It told of the dispute between Agamemnon and Menelaus, the departure from Troy of Menelaus, the fortunes of the lesser heroes, the return and tragic death of Agamemnon, and the vengeance of Orestes on Aegisthus.

	Troy - Movie Review
		Most importantly of all, the siege of Troy lasts ten whole years, whereas Petersen's Troy is a shock-and-awe campaign lasting only sixteen days and a night (and that's including the twelve-day truce for Hector's funeral games), in which there is not really enough time for anyone to earn the kind of honour that makes legends.
		Troy belongs to everybody, and is up for grabs, so there is nothing intrinsically wrong with making changes for the film.
		Troy was very adventorous and exciting to watch but as I'm reading the Iliad it really differs from what is really written about the true war between the acheans and the Dannans.

	Trojan Wars: On the Big and Little Screen
		The city of Troy is increasingly well known and we have a good idea of its appearance, thanks to the Troia Projekt (University of Tubingen and University of Cincinnati) excavation and the virtual reality based on it; the filmmakers, however, must have wanted something more spectacular (see photos).
		Troy's intimidating outer wall in the film, which I take to be 40 or 50 feet in height with higher towers, is a fiction (they didn't have siege engines for battering down walls in the Late Bronze Age, so walls on that scale would have been a colossal waste).
		The lower city of Troy was protected by a ditch, shown here, but in the movie the ditch has been transformed into a wall that's 40 or 50 feet tall.

	Trojan War cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Trojan War cycle, also widely known as the Epic Cycle or Cyclic Epics, was a collection of Ancient Greek epic poems that related the story of the Trojan War, which includes the Kypria, the Aithiopis, the Little Iliad, the Iliou persis ("The Sack of Troy"), the Nostoi ("Returns"), and the Telegony.
		Scholars sometimes include the two Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, among the poems of the Epic Cycle, but the term is more often applied only to the non-Homeric poems that narrate the Trojan War.
		The two books of the Iliou persis cover the sack of Troy by the Greeks.

	Troy
		Recalling the legend of Troy, we would hardly object to an abandonment after the Greek sack of that city; it would be only natural, and is, in fact, attested in ancient sources.
		The local grey ware pots of Troy VII (i.e., of the Mycenaean Age) were looked upon as the “direct ancestors” of the local ware not only of Troy VIII but also of 7th-6th-century Northwestern Turkey and the off-shore island of Lesbos as well.
		Since most of the material from Troy VIII was found on the lower slopes of the mound, one would expect the erosion of the upper mound to deposit a layer of the dissolved remains of the mud brick houses, etc., from higher up the slope.

	VDH's Private Papers::Troy's Literary Offenses
		Troy, on the other hand, dissipates the drama by going back in time to the beginning of Paris and Helen's affair, and forward to the sack of Troy, losing that dramatic concentration and power.
		Troy could have challenged the audience's romantic preconceptions by showing us Homer's realist view of sexual passion, but instead we get something straight out of supermarket romance.
		Since the movie removes Achilles' complicity in the death of Patroclus, it flattens out Achilles's character and thus ignores his growth into an awareness of his own limitations, a recognition that despite all his excellence and achievements, he is like all of us: subject to passions that drive him to actions he never would've chosen.

	Ex Imagibus - Volume 16, Issue 2
		In the film, Achilles and Agamemnon are at odds before they ever arrive at Troy, and Briseis, the catalyst for the titanic clash of the two heroes in the epic, is taken as war booty, seized by Agamemnon, and recovered by Achilles (who dashingly rescues her from brutish Greek hoplites) all in about twenty-four hours.
		Agamemnon, whose bloody homecoming is one of the most famous events in Greek literature, is killed by Briseis during the sack of Troy.
		His trivialization of Troy is a sign that the Greek hold on Western man has continued to loosen since the sixteenth century, and for that reason this film is not only cause for celebration but evidence of postmillennialism.
