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.

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. Among these many tales was that of the invincible Greek hero Achilles, who was finally slain when the Trojan prince Paris shot an arrow to his heel, the one vulnerable point of his body.

It was also speculated that the survivors of the war that left the ruins of Troy would go on a voyage. First to Carthage, then to coast if Italy before founding the city of Rome.
