I'm sure scholars know why my hair brained theory is bogus, but what happened to the other 999 ships voyaging home from Troy? Also wouldn't it be easier to maintain a 10 year siege if you were doing a bit of coastal raiding the whole time?

While Troy was a real place and probably did experience some sort of war with the Greeks, the Iliad and the Odyssey aren’t really historical accounts.

I don't know. They talk about it in Xena a few times. How many sources do we need?

God damn you. I thought Xena was an actual source I had never heard of and went looking for it.
