Troy

Thanks to Homer, the famous Greek writer, the world got to know Troy. According to sources, the legend of the Three and the Trojan War was told by Ozan, a storyteller from Anatolia. Today the poem is of great cultural and historical value. The interest in the mysterious city has not left mankind for many years and led the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann to a sensational find. He discovered a treasure in the Turkish city of Canakkale (Ilion) and proved the reality of Troy ‘s existence . Now the statue of the Trojan horse stands proud in this city.

Homer’s story was set in 1180 BC. when Troy was a prosperous city and viewed with envy by its malevolent neighbors. The battle for the city lasted about 10 years. The first spark to ignite the fires of war was the beautiful Helena , queen of Sparta, who was kidnapped by the Trojan prince Paris in a fit of passion.

The long, arduous war might have lasted even longer had it not been for the Greek Kluge. As a sign of reconciliation, a giant wooden horse was offered to the enemy as a gift. And what was the surprise of the Trojans, who accepted this fateful gift with relief when armed soldiers sprang out. The city fell almost instantly. The legend of this cunning strategic move could not be forgotten, and now school programs from almost all over the world are telling this amazing story.
