When was the Trojan war?
The Ancient Greeks thought that it took place in the 13th or 12th century BC. Those who believe the Trojan War existed date it to 12th or 11th century BC. Often people accept 1194-1184 BC which was given by Eratosthenes of Cyrene. In 1870, German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann excavated an area which He identified as Troy. Most scholars today accept this claim. However, whether there is an real historicity to the Trojan War remains still an open question.
