The Trojan War was a major military conflict that took place in the early 12th century BCE over the course of a decade between the city of Troy and the invading Greeks.[1][2]
The war gave rise to Greek legends that they immortalized first via oral tradition and then in the Iliad, an epic poem compiled in the 9th century BCE by Homer.[2] Among these many tales was that of the invincible Greek hero Achilles,[3] who was finally slain when the Trojan prince Paris shot an arrow to his heel, the one vulnerable point of his body.[4]
