Trojan War, in Greek legend, a famous war waged by the Greeks against the city of Troy.
The tradition is believed to reflect a real war between the Greeks of the late Mycenaean
period and the inhabitants of the Troad, or Troas, in Anatolia, part of present-day Turkey.
Modern archaeological excavations have shown that Troy was destroyed by fire sometime
between 1230 BC and 1180 BC, and that the war may have resulted from the desire either to
plunder the wealthy city or to put an end to Troy's commercial control of the Dardanelles.
Legendary accounts of the war traced its origin to a golden apple, inscribed “for the fairest”
and thrown by Eris, goddess of discord, among the heavenly guests at the wedding of
Peleus, the ruler of Myrmidons, and Thetis, one of the Nereids. The award of the apple to
Aphrodite, goddess of love, by Paris, son of King Priam of Troy, secured for Paris the favor
of the goddess.
