I originally hadn't thought much about the movie, but as time went on it had left the regular theaters here in town and I realized that I'd wished I'd gone to see it. I remember hearing several outside critics blasting the movie as horrible and wanted to judge for myself. I'm very glad I finally saw this movie.This movie is not the usual Clash of the Titans/Jason and the Argonauts type of movie where the gods are constantly shown and portrayed as more important and powerful than the lowly humans. In fact, this movie completely ignores the so-called gods and instead places the focus where it belongs -- on the warriors themselves. I have studied the Iliad as well as other stories surrounding the mythical Trojan War since my days as an elementary school geek obsessed with mythology and Dungeons & Dragons. Instead of being targeted toward that audience this film demystifies the Trojan War and treats it in a manner in which it could have actually happened. We see that the elders who continually refer to their so-called gods come across as fools. One of the most telling lines is when Hector (Eric Bana) refers to the fact that Apollo did not strike down Achilles (Brad Pitt) for desecrating the statue. It is very telling that Hector seems to doubt the gods he has been taught to worship.I have been a longtime critic of Brad Pitt as a second-tier talent who became famous only because of his looks, but in this film he surprised me. He is the TRUE star of the film. Achilles is easily the most interesting and entertaining character. I applaud Brad Pitt's effort in making his character a tragic hero. Achilles acknowledges that he is NOT the son of a goddess and is not immortal or invulnerable. The movie basically shows us how a rumor can blossom into a legend unto itself. Achilles' legend BECOMES immortal. He even refers to this in my favorite scene when he is inspiring his men and starts the invasion heavily outnumbered and still triumphs. Later in the same scene he scoffs at the so-called gods the Greeks and Trojans worship by decapitating the statue. I found this scene symbolic of the movie itself. The gods are nothing to both the characters and audience.Instead of supernatural powers and impossible feats we're treated to realism. Even Achilles' death is more realistic than in the myth. In the myth Paris does kill Achilles with an arrow, but because he has no battle skills his hand is actually guided by Apollo.If there was one thing I did not like in this film it was the transformation of Paris into some kind of hero. Paris was a coward in the original myth and I saw no reason to transform him into an overnight hero in the movie. I guess Orlando Bloom fans wouldn't be able to bear seeing him as the bad guy and were given the uninspired transformation of Paris into a better archer than Robin Hood.While this movie was nowhere near the epic masterpiece that the producers had hoped or that it was advertised as, it did not deserve the bad publicity it received from critics. I applaud the makers of this film and look forward to buying it on DVD.helpful•520408Cube_TXSep 8, 2004Top picksSign in to rate and Watchlist for personalized recommendationsSign inFAQ19How long is Troy?Powered by AlexaWhat are the differences between the Theatrical Version and the Director's Cut?What are some of the differences between the events in this movie and in The Iliad?DetailsEditRelease dateMay 13, 2004 (Philippines)Countries of originUnited StatesMaltaUnited KingdomOfficial sitesOfficial FacebookWarner BrothersLanguageEnglishAlso known asUntitled 'The Illiad' ProjectFilming locationsCabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico(location)Production companiesWarner Bros.Helena ProductionsRadiant ProductionsSee more company credits at IMDbProBox officeEditBudget$175,000,000 (estimated)Gross US & Canada$133,378,256Opening weekend US & Canada$46,865,412May 16, 2004Gross worldwide$497,409,852See detailed box office info on IMDbProTechnical specsEditRuntime2 hours 43 minutesColorColorSound mixDolby DigitalSDDSDTSAspect ratio2.39 : 1Related newsContribute to this pageSuggest an edit or add missing contentIMDb Answers: Help fill gaps in our dataLearn more about contributingEdit pageMore to exploreListStaff Picks: What to Watch in MarchSee the listListIMDb Staff's 2024 Oscar PredictionsSee our predictionsListHillary's 6 Picks for March and BeyondSee the full listRecently viewedYou have no recently viewed pagesGet the IMDb AppSign in for more accessSign in for more accessGet the IMDb AppHelpSite IndexIMDbProBox Office MojoIMDb DeveloperPress RoomAdvertisingJobsConditions of UsePrivacy PolicyYour Ads Privacy ChoicesIMDb, an Amazon company© 1990-2024 by IMDb.com, Inc.Back to top

The Trojan HorseTetraktyas (CC BY-SA)

Troy is the name of the Bronze Age city attacked in the Trojan War, a popular story in the mythology of ancient Greece, and the name given to the archaeological site in the north-west of Asia Minor (now Turkey) which has revealed a large and prosperous city occupied over millennia. There has been much scholarly debate as to whether mythical Troy actually existed and if so whether the archaeological site was the same city; however, it is now almost universally accepted that the archaeological excavations have revealed the city of Homer's Iliad. Other names for Troy include Hisarlik (Turkish), Ilios (Homer), Ilion (Greek) and Ilium (Roman). The archaeological site of Troy is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.

Troy in myth

Troy is the setting for Homer's Iliad in which he recounts the final year of the Trojan War sometime in the 13th century BCE. The war was in fact a ten-year siege of the city by a coalition of Greek forces led by King Agamemnon of Mycenae. The purpose of the expedition was to reclaim Helen, wife of Menelaus, king of Sparta and brother of Agamemnon. Helen was abducted by the Trojan prince Paris and taken as his prize for choosing Aphrodite as the most beautiful goddess in a competition with Athena and Hera. The Trojan War is also told in other sources such as the Epic Cycle poems (of which only fragments survive) and is also briefly mentioned in Homer's Odyssey. Troy and the Trojan War later became a staple myth of Classical Greek and Roman literature.

In the Iliad, Homer describes Troy as 'well-founded', 'strong-built' & 'well-walled'.

Homer describes Troy as 'well-founded', 'strong-built' and 'well-walled'; there are also several references to fine battlements, towers and 'high' and 'steep' walls. The walls must have been unusually strong in order to withstand a ten-year siege and in fact, Troy fell through the trickery of the Trojan horse ruse rather than any defensive failing. Indeed, in Greek mythology the walls were so impressive that they were said to have been built by Poseidon and Apollo who after an act of impiety were compelled by Zeus to serve the Trojan king Laomedon for one year. However, the fortifications did not help the king when Hercules sacked the city with an expedition of only six ships. The sacking was Hercules' revenge for not being paid for his services to the king when he killed the sea-serpent sent by Poseidon. This episode was traditionally placed one generation before the Trojan War as the only male survivor was Laomedon's youngest son Priam, the Trojan king in the later conflict.

Troy in Archaeology

Inhabited from the Early Bronze Age (3000 BCE) through to the 12th century CE the archaeological site which is now called Troy is 5 km from the coast but was once next to the sea. The site was situated in a bay created by the mouth of the river Skamanda and occupied a strategically important position between Aegean and Eastern civilizations by controlling the principal point of access to the Black Sea, Anatolia and the Balkans from both directions by land and sea. In particular, the difficulty in finding favourable winds to enter the Dardanelles may well have resulted in ancient sailing vessels standing by near Troy. Consequently, the site became the most important Bronze Age city in the North Aegean, reaching the height of its prosperity in the middle Bronze Age, contemporary with the Mycenaean civilization on the Greek mainland and the Hittite empire to the East.

Troy was first excavated by Frank Calvert in 1863 CE and visited by Heinrich Schliemann who continued excavations from 1870 CE until his death in 1890 CE; in particular, he attacked the conspicuous 20 m high artificial mound which had been left untouched since antiquity. Initial finds by Schliemann of gold and silver jewellery and vessels seemed to vindicate his belief that the site was actually the Troy of Homer. However, these have now been dated to more than a thousand years before a probable date for the Trojan War and indicated that the history of the site was much more complex than previously considered. Indeed, perhaps unwittingly, Schliemann would add 2000 years to Western history, which had previously gone back only as far as the first Olympiad of 776 BCE.

The excavations continued throughout the 20th century CE and continue to the present day and they have revealed nine different cities and no less than 46 levels of inhabitation at the site. These have been labelled Troy I to Troy IX after Schliemann's (and his successor Dorpfeld's) original classification. This has since been slightly adjusted to incorporate radio-carbon dating results from the early 21st century CE.

Troy I (c. 3000-2550 BCE) was a small village settlement surrounded by stone walls. Pottery and metal finds match those on Lesbos and Lemnos in the Aegean and in northern Anatolia.

Troy II (c. 2550-2300 BCE) displays larger buildings (40 m long), mud-brick and stone fortifications with monumental gates. Schliemann's 'treasure' finds - objects in gold, silver, electrum, bronze, carnelian and lapis lazuli - most likely come from this period. This 'treasure' includes 60 earrings, six bracelets, two magnificent diadems and 8750 rings, all in solid gold. Once again, finds of foreign materials suggest trade with Asia.

Troy III - Troy V (c. 2300-1750 BCE) is the most difficult period to reconstruct as the layers were hastily removed in early excavations in order to reach the lower levels. Generally speaking, the period seems a less prosperous one but foreign contact is further evidenced by the presence of Anatolian influenced dome ovens and Minoan pottery.

The archaeological site of Troy has impressive fortification walls 5 m thick & up to 8 m high constructed from large limestone blocks.

Troy VI (c. 1750-1300 BCE) is the period most visible today at the site and is the most likely candidate for the besieged city of Homer's Trojan War. Impressive fortification walls 5 m thick and up to 8 m high constructed from large limestone blocks and including several towers (with the rectangular plan as in Hittite fortifications) demonstrate the prosperity but also a concern for defence during this period. The walls would have once been topped by a mud brick and wood superstructure and with closely fitting stonework sloping inwards; as the walls rise they certainly fit the Homeric description of 'strong-built Troy'. In addition, sections of the walls are slightly offset every 10 m or so in order to curve around the site without the necessity for corners (a weak point in wall defence). This feature is unique to Troy and displays an independence from both Mycenaean and Hittite influence. The walls included five gateways allowing entrance to the inner city composed of large structures, once of two stories and with central courts and collonaded halls similar to those of contemporary Mycenaean cities such as Tiryns, Pylos and Mycenae itself. Outside the fortified citadel the lower town covers an impressive 270,000 square metres protected by an encircling rock-cut ditch. The size of the site is now much bigger than first thought when Schliemann excavated and suggests a population of as high as 10,000, much more in keeping with Homer's grand city-state.

Finds at the site point to the existence of a thriving wool industry and the first use of horses, recalling Homer's oft-used epithet 'horse-taming Trojans'. Pottery very similar to that on the Greek mainland has been discovered, principally the Grey Minyan ware which imitates metal vessels. There are also imported ceramics from Crete, Cyprus and the Levant. In marked contrast to Mycenaean palaces, there is no evidence of sculpture or fresco-painted walls.

Troy VI was partially destroyed but the exact cause is not known beyond some evidence of fire. Intriguingly, bronze arrow heads, spear tips and sling shots have been found on the site and even some embedded in the fortification walls, suggesting some sort of conflict. The dates of these (c. 1250 BCE) and the site destruction correlate with Herodotus' dates for the Trojan War. Conflicts over the centuries between Mycenaeans and Hittites are more than probable and may well have been the origin of the epic Trojan War in Greek mythology. There is very little evidence of any large-scale war but the possibility of smaller conflicts is evidenced in Hittite texts where 'Ahhiyawa' is recognised as referring to Mycenaean Greeks and 'Wilusa' as the region of which Ilios was the capital. These documents tell of local unrest and Mycenaean support of local rebellion against Hittite control in the area of Troy and suggest a possible motive for regional rivalry between the two civilizations. Intriguingly, there is also a bronze Mycenaean sword taken as war booty and found in Hattusa, the Hittite capital.

Troy VIIa (c. 1300-1180 BCE) and Troy VIIb (c. 1180-950 BCE) both display an increase in the size of the lower town and some reconstruction of the fortifications but also a marked decline in architectural and artistic quality in respect to Troy VI. For example, there is a return to handmade pottery after centuries of wares made on the wheel. Once again, this correlates well with the Greek tradition that following the Trojan War the city was sacked and abandoned, at least for a time. Both Troy VIIa and Troy VIIb were destroyed by fires.

Troy VIII and Troy IX (c. 950 BCE to 550 CE) are the sites of Greek Ilion and Roman Ilium respectively. There is evidence that the site was populated throughout the so-called Dark Ages but the settlement did not return to a level of significant development until the 8th century BCE. Ancient Troy was never forgotten though. The Persian King Xerxes is said by Herodotus to have sacrificed over a thousand oxen at the site prior to his invasion of Greece and Alexander the Great also visited the site before his expedition in the opposite direction in order to conquer Asia.

A Doric temple to Athena was constructed in the early 3rd century BCE along with new fortifications under Lysimachos (c. 301-280 BCE). The Romans also held Troy in high regard and even referred to the city as 'Sacred Ilium'. In Roman tradition, the Trojan hero Aeneas, son of Venus, had fled Troy and settled in Italy thus giving the Romans a divine ancestry. Julius Caesar in 48 BCE and Emperor Augustus (reign 27 BCE -14 CE) rebuilt much of the city and Hadrian (reign 117-138 CE) also added buildings which included an odeion, gymnasium and baths. Emperor Constantine (reign 324-337 CE) even planned to build his new capital at Troy and some construction work began until Constantinople was chosen instead. Over time the site declined, most probably because the harbour had silted up and the once great city of Troy was finally abandoned, not to be rediscovered for another 1500 years.

Troy (Turkish: Truva or Troya) is an ancient city in what is now northwestern Turkey, made famous in Homer’s epic poem, the Iliad. According to Iliad, this is where the legendary Trojan War took place. Today it is an archaeological site popular with travellers from all over the world, and in addition to being a Turkish national park, it is on the World Heritage List of UNESCO.

Understand[edit]

Trojan Horse at the entrance of the site

Situated on Hisarlık Hill on the northwestern tip of Troad Peninsula, the site allows total control of Dardanelles, which, along with the Sea of Marmara and the Bosphorus, is today known as the Turkish Straits. In many periods of history, this was a key route connecting Mediterranean with the Black Sea, as well as being where European and Asian landmasses are almost just a stone's throw away from each other.

Hisarlık Hill has hosted major human settlements almost continuously since 3000 BC. The earliest city on the site was a small Neolithic settlement of which little remains. A successor to this settlement, now referred to Troy II, was also of modest size but built monumental buildings and amassed such astonishing treasure that early archaeologists initially associated it with a much later period. More famous, however, are the Late Bronze Age Troy VI and Troy VII archaeological layers, likely corresponding to the city known to the Hittites as Wilusa and possibly corresponding to the city known in later legends as Troy.

The abduction of Queen Helen of Sparta by Paris, a Trojan prince, sparked emnity between the Trojans and Achaeans from across the Aegean Sea, or so says the story. Having been unable to break into the defensive walls of the city for nine years, Achaeans decided to set up a trick—they offered a huge wooden horse as a gift to Trojans, as an amend for the bother they caused with their war galleys on the city's beach. Trojans accepted the offer sincerely, but this resulted in them losing their city, as inside of the horse was full of Achaean soldiers, ready to combat, and now right in the centre of the city.

Researchers still debate not only whether there was a Trojan War but also what it would mean to claim that there was a Trojan War. However, it is settled beyond a doubt that the site on Hisarlık Hill was the city which was regarded as the site of a Trojan War in later time. (For instance, numerous coins turn up in the topsoil at the site identifying it as such.) Moreover, we know from Hittite records that the city of Wilusa was involved in several military conflicts which also involved Greek people between the 15th and 12th centuries BC. (We can't be sure *how* these events involved the various parties-- it seems like some Greek people may have fought alongside the Trojans against the Hittites during one of these conflicts, and a later conflict may not have reached the city proper.) Thus, if the identification of Wilusa with Hisarlık Hill is correct, the site would have hosted events which could well have inspired the later myths.

Troy VII was largely abandoned at the end of the Bronze Age. However, after a few centuries, Greek colonists arrived and built a city known now as Troy VIII but at the time called Ilion. Residents of this city were very aware of the role their home played in mythology, going so far as worshipping parts of its ruins (though also demolishing other parts). This city was sacked during a rebellion against the Byzantines and subsequently rebuilt as Ilium, known archaeologically as Troy IX. Troy IX was abandoned as the Trojan bay silted up, nullifying its reason for existence. It eventually disappeared under laters of dirt in the late middle ages.

In antiquity, the Trojan War widely regarded as a historical event, but this view became less popular as the years rolled by. In 1868, Heinrich Schliemann, a German businessman and a self-proclaimed archaeologist, sought to prove that Troy was a real place, taking the hint that it might be buried under the Hisarlık Hill from Frank Calvert, a British archaeologist who visited the site three years earlier. As Schliemann's excavations were totally amateurish, it damaged the integrity of much of the remains, but Schliemann obtained what he yearned for anyway—his Greek spouse Sophia Schliemann is immortalized in a photo showing her wearing the treasures found at the Hisarlık Hill (part of the treasure was later taken by the Red Army from Berlin to Moscow at the end of World War II).

Although almost a century and a half passed since the days of Schliemann, Troy still hasn't been unearthed completely yet, and the excavation works still continue to this day.

Once a harbour city on the edge of a deep bay of Dardanelles, the site now lies 5 km inland from the coast due to the alluvial material carried by the River Scamander (modern Karamenderes), which filled the bay, turning it into the fertile, flat farmland stretching out to the sea that it is.

In modern Turkish, there is a tendency of shifting of the name of the site from Truva, which reflects the pronounciation of French name of the place (Troie) as that was the language of choice among the Turkish elites up to 1950s, to Troya, which is closer to the original Greek name, although both can still be heard interchangably.

Get in[edit]

The nearest main center is Çanakkale, about 30 km to the north of Troy. There are minibuses that travel to and from the Çanakkale local bus station, which is located under the white bridge by the river,near the local bus station. The trip takes ~45 minutes.

From Çanakkale, the minibuses are scheduled (as of 2016/09) to leave every hour starting at 7AM with the last one at 3PM. To get back, they leave hourly starting at 9:30AM with the last one leaving at 5:30PM. An up to date schedule can be found in the Tourist Information office in Çanakkale near the ferry port.Be prepeared that bus don't back every hour if there is no much tourist ,and ask people in Park to comunicate with bus if he don't appear ,or go to first local station in village Troy to Chanakkale .It is about 500 m from Park of Troya .

By car[edit]

The site is 2 km off the Çanakkale-Izmir highway (D550/E87). Road signs (saying either Truva, Troya, Troy, or Troia, sometimes two of them on the same signpost) will direct you, starting from the ferry harbour in Çanakkale.

Get around[edit]

The path through the ruins is well marked, but quite rocky and slippery in places. Be sure to wear proper walking shoes.

See[edit]

Explore the ruins.

Troy was destroyed and rebuilt nine times over, and each of nine different layers still has something left to this day, although amateurish archaeological excavations of late 1800s damaged some of them a lot more than others. The layer that is thought to be depicted in Homer's Iliad is likely Troy VI or VII, a portion of the legendary walls of which is still intact.

The admission fee to the site is 25 TL pp (October 2016). Make sure that you don't accept any of the 'old' Turkish money as change from the admission office. You wont be able to use it outside of Troy (for some reason certain locations still accept and distribute the old 'New Turkish Lira') and you will have to change it at a bank.

Do[edit]

Climbing up the ladders of (fake, re-constructed) Trojan horse in the entrance of the site is an inevitable part of Troy experience. Better do it on weekdays as the ladders (and the interior of the horse itself) may be crowded at weekends by schoolchildren on a schooltrip (a situation which makes climbing up and down those steep stairs rather unpleasent). Winter is a fantastic time to visit Troy, as there are very few tourists around and you may even get the fake horse to yourself.

Get out[edit]

Fans of Iliad (as well as nature lovers) will likely find nearby Mount Ida (to the southeast of Troy) interesting, where gods watched the epic fight below on the fields of Troad, as well as where Paris picked the most beautiful one of three goddesses. Both the northern (through the town of Bayramiç) and southern (from various villages lining the northern coast of the Gulf of Edremit) approaches to the mountain are worth checking.

Bozcaada, or ancient Tenedos, an island in the Aegean Sea with a nicely preserved old town and a Venetian castle, is located nearby (within the sight of bare eyes from Troy). Geyikli harbour, which has a ferry connection with Bozcaada, is only ten or so kilometres away from Troy, to the south.

Çanakkale, the hub and the main city of the Troad Peninsula, should be one of your next destinations if you have not already arrived from that direction.

You can also keep moving southwards via backcountry roads along the coast, passing pleasant villages and a number of ancient Greek ruins among some pretty nice Mediterranean landscapes.

El caballo de TroyaTetraktyas (CC BY-SA)

Troya es el nombre de la ciudad de la Edad de Bronce que fue atacada en la guerra de Troya, una historia popular en la mitología de la antigua Grecia, además del nombre dado al emplazamiento arqueológico en el noroeste de Asia Menor, ahora Turquía, que ha revelado una ciudad grande y próspera que ha estado ocupada durante milenios. Los expertos han debatido durante mucho tiempo si la mítica Troya existió realmente y si, de ser así, el emplazamiento arqueológico es el mismo sitio o no; sin embargo, está prácticamente aceptado universalmente que las excavaciones arqueológicas han sacado a la luz la ciudad de la Ilíada de Homero. Otros nombres con los que se conoce la ciudad son Hisarlik, en turco, Ilios, según Homero, Ilión, en griego e Ilium, en latín. El emplazamiento arqueológico de Troya ha sido declarado por la UNESCO como Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

Troya en la mitología

Troya es el escenario de la Ilíada de Homero, en la que se cuentan el último año de la guerra de Troya en algún momento del siglo XIII AEC. En realidad, la guerra fue un sitio de diez años de la ciudad por la coalición de ejércitos griegos liderados por el rey Agamenón de Micenas. El propósito de la expedición era recuperar a Helena, la esposa de Menelao, rey de Esparta y hermano de Agamenón. Helena había sido secuestrada por el príncipe troyano Paris y llevada como premio por elegir a Afrodita como la diosa más hermosa en una competición con Atenea y Hera. También se habla de la guerra de Troya en otras fuentes, tales como los poemas del Ciclo troyano, de los que nos han llegado varios fragmentos, y brevemente en la Odisea de Homero. Troya y más tarde la guerra se convirtieron en un mito básico de la literatura griega y romana clásica.

EN LA ILÍADA, HOMERO DESCRIBE TROYA COMO "BIEN FUNDADA", "FUERTE" Y "DE MURALLAS ROBUSTAS".

Homero describe Troya como "bien fundada", "fuerte" y "de murallas robustas"; también hay varias referencias a las almenas, las torres y las "altas" y "escarpadas" murallas. Las murallas debían de ser extraordinariamente robustas para haber resistido un asedio de diez años, y de hecho Troya acabó cayendo mediante el engaño del caballo de Troya en vez de cualquier error defensivo. De hecho, en la mitología griega las murallas eran tan impresionantes que se decían que habían sido construidas por Poseidón y Apolo a los que, tras un acto irreverente, Zeus los obligó a servir al rey troyano Laomedón durante un año. Sin embargo, las fortificaciones no ayudaron al rey cuando Hércules saqueó la ciudad con una expedición de tan solo seis barcos. El saqueo fue la venganza de Hércules por no haberle pagado por los servicios prestados al rey cuando mató a la serpiente marina enviada por Poseidón. Este episodio tradicionalmente se sitúa una generación antes de la guerra de Troya, ya que el único superviviente masculino era el hijo menor de Laomedón, Príamo, el rey troyano durante el posterior conflicto.

Troya en la arqueología

Habitada desde el Bronce temprano (3000 AEC) hasta el siglo XII EC, el emplazamiento arqueológico que hoy en día se conoce como Troya está a 5 km de la costa, pero en el pasado estaba junto al mar. Este asentamiento estaba situado en una bahía creada por la desembocadura del río Skamanda y ocupaba una posición estratégicamente importante entre las civilizaciones del Egeo y las orientales, ya que controlaba el principal punto de acceso al Mar Negro, Anatolia y los Balcanes desde ambas direcciones por mar y tierra. En particular, la dificultad de encontrar vientos favorables para entrar en los Dardanelos puede que causara que las embarcaciones de la antigüedad pararan cerca de Troya. En consecuencia, el lugar se convirtió en la ciudad más importante de la Edad de Bronce en el Egeo norte, y alcanzó su apogeo a mediados de la Edad de Bronce, siendo así contemporánea de la civilización micénica de la Grecia continental y el imperio hitita al este.

Troya fue excavada por primera vez por Frank Calvert en 1863 EC, y Heinrich Schliemann la visitó, y continuó con las excavaciones a partir de 1870 EC hasta su muerte en 1890 EC; en particular atacó el llamativo montículo artificial de 20 metros de altura que llevaba intacto desde la antigüedad. Los descubrimientos iniciales de Schliemann de joyas de oro y plata y vasijas parecieron respaldar su creencia de que este emplazamiento era realmente la Troya de Homero. Sin embargo, estos hallazgos se han datado más de mil años antes de la fecha probable de la guerra de Troya, e indicaban que la historia del lugar era mucho más compleja de lo que se pensaba. De hecho, y quizás sin querer, Schliemann añadiría 2000 años a la historia occidental, que anteriormente solo llegaba hasta la primera olimpiada en 776 AEC.

Las excavaciones continuaron a lo largo del siglo XX EC y siguen en marcha en la actualidad, y han revelado nueve ciudades diferentes y no menos de 46 niveles de habitación en este lugar. Estas ciudades se han denominado desde Troya I hasta Troya IX, siguiendo la clasificación original de Schliemann y su sucesor Dorpfeld. Desde entonces, esta clasificación se ha recalibrado para incorporar los resultados de la datación por carbono de principios del siglo XXI EC.

Troya I (c. 3000-2550 AEC) era un pequeño asentamiento rodeado de muros de piedra. Los hallazgos de cerámica y metal coinciden con los de Lesbos y Lemnos en el Egeo y el norte de Anatolia.

Troya II (c. 2550-2300 AEC) muestra edificios más grandes (de 40 metros de largo), fortificaciones de ladrillos de barro y de piedra con puertas monumentales. Los hallazgos del "tesoro" de Schliemann, objetos de oro, plata, electro, bronce, cornalina y lapislázuli, probablemente provienen de este periodo. Este "tesoro" cuenta con 60 pendientes, seis brazaletes, dos magníficas diademas y 8750 anillos, todo de oro macizo. De nuevo, los hallazgos de materiales extranjeros sugieren un comercio con Asia.

Troya III - Troya V (c. 2300-1750 AEC) es el período más difícil de reconstruir, ya que estas capas se quitaron apresuradamente en las primeras excavaciones para llegar a los niveles más bajos. En términos generales, este periodo parece haber sido menos próspero, pero el contacto con el extranjero es evidente gracias a la presencia de hornos de cúpula con influencias de Anatolia y la alfarería minoica.

EL EMPLAZAMIENTO ARQUEOLÓGICO DE TROYA TIENE UNAS IMPRESIONANTES MURALLAS DE 5 METROS DE GROSOR Y HASTA 8 METROS DE ALTURA, CONSTRUIDAS CON GRANDES BLOQUES DE PIEDRA CALIZA.

Troya VI (c. 1750-1300 AEC) es el período más visible hoy en día y es la candidata más probable para la ciudad asediada de la guerra de Troya de Homero. Las impresionantes murallas fortificadas de 5 metros de grosor y de hasta 8 metros de altura construidas con grandes bloques de piedra caliza, que también tienen varias torres (de planta rectangular como en las fortificaciones hititas) demuestran la prosperidad del lugar, además de su preocupación por la defensa durante ese periodo. En un principio las murallas habrían estado recubiertas con una superestructura de ladrillos de barro cocido y madera, y con mampostería inclinada hacia adentro; viendo las murallas alzarse, ciertamente encajan con la descripción de Homero de una "Troya robusta". Además, la muralla se va compensando en secciones cada 10 metros más o menos para crear una curva alrededor de la ciudad y evitar así las esquinas, que son un punto débil de las murallas. Esta es una característica única de Troya y muestra su independencia de las influencias micénica e hitita. En las murallas había cinco entradas que permitían el paso al centro de la ciudad, que se componía de grandes estructuras, de dos pisos, con patios interiores y salones de columnas parecidos a los de las ciudades micénicas coetáneas como Tirinto, Pilos y la propia Micenas. Fuera de la ciudadela fortificada, la ciudad inferior cubre unos impresionantes 270.000 metros cuadrados, protegidos por una zanja circundante excavada en la roca. El tamaño del lugar es mucho más grande actualmente de lo que se pensó en un principio cuando Schliemann lo excavó y sugiere una población de hasta 10.000 habitantes, mucho más acorde con la gran ciudad-estado de Homero.

Los descubrimientos en el lugar apuntan hacia la existencia de una próspera industria de la lana y el primer uso de caballos, que recuerda el usado epíteto de Homero "Troyanos domadores de caballos". Se ha descubierto una cerámica muy parecida a la de la Grecia continental, principalmente la cerámica minia que imita vasos de metal. También hay cerámica importada de Creta, Chipre y el Levante. En marcado contraste con los palacios micénicos, no hay indicios de esculturas o paredes con frescos.

Troya VI fue destruida parcialmente, pero se desconoce la causa exacta, más allá de algún indicio de un incendio. Resulta intrigante saber que se han descubierto puntas de flecha de bronce, puntas de lanza y hondas en el lugar e incluso hay algunas incrustadas en las fortificaciones, lo que sugiere algún tipo de conflicto. Las fechas de estas, en torno a 1250 AEC, y la destrucción del lugar se relacionan con las fechas que sugiere Heródoto para la guerra de Troya. Los conflictos a lo largo de los siglos entre los micénicos y los hititas son bastante probables y bien pueden haber sido el origen de la épica guerra de Troya en la mitología griega. No hay muchos indicios que indiquen una guerra a gran escala, pero la posibilidad de que hubiera conflictos menores es evidente en los textos hititas en los que se reconoce que "Ahhiyawa" hace referencia a los griegos micénicos y que "Wilusa" es la región de la cual Ilios es la capital. Estos documentos hablan de disturbios locales y el apoyo micénico de una rebelión local contra el control hitita en el área de Troya, y sugieren un posible motivo para la rivalidad local entre estas dos civilizaciones. Algo interesante es que también hay una espada micénica de bronce que se ha llevado como botín de guerra encontrada en Hattusa, la capital hitita.

Troya VIIa (c. 1300-1180 AEC) y Troya VIIb (c. 1180-950 AEC) ambas muestran un aumento en el tamaño de la ciudad inferior y una cierta reconstrucción de las fortificaciones, pero también una marcada disminución en la calidad arquitectónica y artística con respecto a Troya VI. Por ejemplo, se produce una vuelta a la cerámica hecha a mano tras siglos de artículos hechos en un torno. De nuevo, esto está bien relacionado con la tradición griega de que después de la guerra de Troya la ciudad fue saqueada y abandonada, al menos por un tiempo. Tanto Troya VIIa como Troya VIIb fueron destruidas por incendios.

Troya VIII y Troya IX (c. 950 AEC a 550 EC) son los emplazamientos del Ilión griego y el Ilium romano respectivamente. Hay indicios de que la zona estuvo poblada a finales de la Edad Antigua, pero el asentamiento no recuperó un nivel de desarrollo significativo hasta el siglo VIII AEC. Sin embargo, la antigua Troya nunca se olvidó. Heródoto dice que el rey persa Jerjes sacrificó más de mil bueyes en el lugar antes de su invasión de Grecia, y Alejandro Magno también visitó el lugar antes de su expedición en la dirección opuesta para conquistar Asia.

Un templo dórico dedicado a Atenea se construyó a principios del siglo III AEC junto con fortificaciones nuevas bajo Lisímaco (c. 301-280 AEC). Los romanos también admiraban Troya e incluso se referían a ella como la "sagrada Ilium". De acuerdo con la tradición romana, el héroe troyano Eneas, hijo de Venus, huyó de Troya y se asentó en Italia, proporcionando así a los romanos un linaje divino. Julio César en 48 AEC y el emperador Augusto (que reinó de 27 AEC a 14 EC) reconstruyeron gran parte de la ciudad, y Adriano (que reinó 117-138 EC) también añadió algunos edificios incluidos un odeón, un gimnasio y baños. El emperador Constantino (que reinó 324-337 EC) llegó incluso a planear la construcción de su nueva capital en Troya, y se iniciaron algunas obras hasta que se eligió Constantinopla en su lugar. Con el tiempo el lugar fue en declive, probablemente porque el puerto se había encenagado y la que una vez fuera la gran ciudad de Troya se acabó abandonando, y pasarían 1500 años antes de volver a descubrirse.

Visit Ancient Troy – How to Explore Troy, Turkey

by Sarah Carter|Published August 3, 2017-Updated February 12, 2024

The city of Ancient Troy, Turkey was built at a strategic point on the Dardanelle strait, which connects the Aegean Sea with the Black Sea. Troy forms a basis for Homer’s Iliad, written some 500 years after the Trojan War. Ancient Troy holds a unique position in history, literature, and archaeology. Ancient Troy. Truva in Turkish and its location has been written about by ancient Greek and Latin Authors for centuries, however, the location of ancient Troy wasn’t identified until relatively recently. The site of the ancient ruins of Troy became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1998.

The Discovery of Ancient Troy

The ruins of Ancient Troy are found in the current Hissarlik, Turkey, however, it was the Englishman, Charles Maclaren, who, in 1822, suggested that this might be the location of the city. Frank Calvert then convinced the millionaire German amateur archaeologist, Heinrich Schliemann that this location was correct.

Between 1870 and 1890 Schliemann excavated the area in a brutal fashion. His North to South Trench literally cut through layers and layers of historical artifacts. He announced his discovery and the finds of what he called Priam’s Treasure. The treasures were relocated to Berlin. When Berlin was sacked by the Red Army during WWII they were moved to Moscow and have not been returned.

Schliemann’s excavations uncovered evidence of nine periods of building, living, and destruction. At the end of each time, further building took place on top of the previous layer. The destruction generally occurred because of an earthquake or fire.

The History of Ancient Troy – 9 periods

These nine separate layers of Ancient Troy began with the oldest, Troy I – at the bottom and ended with Troy IX at the top. For the first seven periods, Troy was a stronghold with a king’s residence and the associated supporting family and slaves. The local population lived in fields nearby, only taking refuge in the stronghold in dangerous times. Troy is now 5 kilometers from the sea but it was originally very close to the river mouth.

The original Troy was small, just 300 feet in diameter with around 20 houses. By contrast, Troy II was twice as big. Troy II was leveled after a fire and it was in this layer that Schliemann found a treasure trove, identified it with Homer’s Troy, and labeled it Priam’s Treasure. Troy’s III, IV, and V were larger than Troy II but contained smaller more densely located residences within.

Troy VI and VII came about in the Middle and Late Bronze Ages. The city grew, domesticated horses were present and a fifteen feet thick city wall was constructed of limestone. After an earthquake leveled Troy VI, it was quickly rebuilt with houses crowded together and large storage locations for food. It was then destroyed by fire, which historians believe was on purpose by enemies, who also looted the city.

Homers Troy

It was this Troy that historians believe was the Troy of Homer’s Iliad legend, where King Priam and his treasure came from. Although the city was rebuilt it was soon abandoned for four hundred years. The Greeks began to settle the city in 700 BC and it became Troy VIII. Following a sacking by the Romans in 85 BC and its subsequent restoration the city took on its final form in Troy IX.

Troy Legend – the Trojan War

Paris, one of the 50 sons of wealthy King Priam was tasked by the Greek goddesses, Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena to judge which of the three goddesses should receive the golden apple of Eris, the goddess of discord, which would define them as the most beautiful. In an under-the-table deal, Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful woman in the world and thus won the apple. Paris then headed off to Greece and eloped with Helen, the wife of the King of Sparta.

Despite a great expedition and the sacking of many nearby towns by the Greeks in an effort to recover Helen, the Trojans refused to return her. The ancient city of Troy withstood a siege for 10 years. Even the gods took sides. Hera, Athena, and Poseidon sided with the Greeks with Aphrodite, Apollo, and Ares on the side of the Trojans.

Homers Troy – the Iliad

Homer’s Iliad is set in the 10th year of the siege and tells of the battle between Agamemnon and Achilles which led to the death in battle of Priam’s eldest son, Hector. To cut a long story short a huge wooden horse was built. Some of the Greek warriors hid inside, and the rest of the Greek army sailed away to a nearby island. While Priam’s daughter, Cassandra warned against the move the Trojans were persuaded to take the horse inside the walls of the city. That night the Greek army returned, and those inside the horse opened the gates. The rest is history. Priam and his sons were killed, and Trojan women were sold into slavery. Homer wrote more books telling the tales of the Greeks heading home: Returns and Odyssey.

There were a few survivors of Troy, including the descendants of Aeneas who headed to Italy and allegedly became the ancestors of the Romans.

Where is Ancient Troy Today?

There’s little that remains today of the nine periods of Ancient Troy. An impressive ticket office bars entry. A wooden horse replica takes pride of place as you pass through the barriers. You can also have a bit of dress-up fun on your Troy visit – Roman gladiator costumes and a chariot are available if you want to play dress up and get a photo taken.

Signboards around the site provide a heap of information, although they’re not always obvious, you do have to seek them out. It takes more than a little imagination to figure out the center of commerce that this must once have been.

The views over the surrounding countryside are pleasant but by no means commanding. Some restoration has taken place and continues to and Schliemann’s trench is easy to spot

It’s an easy site to traverse – boardwalks, signboards, and no one to really stop you from going where you want. When we visited there was continuing archaeological work, but one assumes by the size of the pick axes that they don’t expect to find anything new here. Or if they do, then they don’t mind it being in several pieces.

Final Words on How to Visit Troy

We traveled with Madventure on our Overlanding the Silk Road trip. We camped the previous night at Eceabat, to visit Gallipoli and took the 08:00 ferry over, visited Troy, and then carried onto Ephesus where we camped on the beach at Deriler camping. If you’re staying locally, then most folks stay in Cannakale and take either a minibus or a taxi to the Troy ruins in Turkey.

Hi Sarah,

Ancient Troy looks fascinating. We only saw Istanbul in Turkey. We had a few more trips lined up but had to head home for family stuff, cutting our trip short. If we do return to the place we will see more of the country. Istanbul was quite unlike any major city we have seen. Drips with culture, and history, very much a step back a few centuries at least as you walk around. I also liked the different feel between the Asian and European sides of the city.

Çanakkale Troya Archaeological Site

Troy is one of the most famous ancient cities in the world. The 10 layers seen in Troy show more than 3000 years without interruption and allow us to follow the civilizations settled in this unique geography where Anatolia, Aegean, and Balkans meet. The earliest settlement level in Troy is in the Early Bronze Age, 3000-2500 B.C. Troy, which was inhabited continuously afterward, was dated to 85 B.C and 500 B.C. After the 4th Roman Period settlement of Troy, it was inhabited as a Byzantine settlement in Troy 5th from the 12th century to the 13th century. After this date, it lost its former importance as a result of the great political changes in its period. Due to its geographical location, Troy has always played a very important role in terms of the commercial and cultural connections of the civilizations that ruled here with other regions. Troy also serves as a reference for other archaeological sites in Europe and the Aegean with its uninterrupted stratification.

As a port city, Troy developed rapidly due to the role it played in maritime trade throughout history and became a strategic settlement controlling the passage from the Aegean Sea to the Black Sea. The city, which lost its importance in the historical process and even was forgotten, has become the focus of attention of European intellectuals, especially since the 17th century, as it was the scene of the Trojan War, which Homer told in the Iliad Epic. It was first excavated in 1871 by Heinrich Schliemann and later by W. Dörpfeld and C.W Blegen. Later, in this magnificent archaeological city, an international team under the leadership of Manfred O. Korfmann started excavations again in Troia after a 50-year hiatus in 1988. And then, until 2005, the excavations were continued by Manfred O. Korfmann. The Troia Archaeological Site, which is currently being excavated by Professor Doctor Rüstem Aslan from Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University with the support of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, is located within the borders of Tevfikiye village in Çanakkale province.

Due to its mythological, historical and archaeological importance, Troy has declared a Historical National Park together with its surroundings in 1996, and in 1998 the site was included in the World Cultural Heritage List. 2018 has been declared as the “Year of Troy” by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, as it is the 20th anniversary of its inclusion in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.

Troy Ruins are 30 km from the city center of Çanakkale. It is located in the south, about 4.5 km. from the coast. The ancient city was declared a National Park in 1996 and was included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 1998.

Troia is a city inhabited from 3000 BC to 500 AD. During the excavations, 10 different city layers and more than 50 building phases were identified here. These cities in brief:

Troy I-III Coastal Troy Culture (3000-2100 B.C)

Troy IV-V The Culture of Troy with an Anatolian Character (B.C.2100-1700)

Troy VI-VII High Troy Culture (B.C.1700-1100)

The Greek Settlement of Troy VIII (B.C.700-85)

The Roman Settlement of Troy IX (B.C.85-A.C.500)

Troy X 12. Century 13. Byzantine settlement, which lasted until the XVIII century.

The importance of Troy is that it was the scene of the Trojan War, which Homer told in the Iliad epic. The Iliad covers a small part of the Trojan War legend. Among the ruins at the site; There are the city walls, the temple, the megaron-style structure consisting of an entrance section and the main room at the back, pipes belonging to the sewer system, and public structures such as the Odeon.

The homeland of the famous poet Homer's Iliad and Odyssey epics from Izmir, the city of Troas and Troia, which has thousands of years of history, is near the Tevfikiye Village of Çanakkale Province. This place is known as Hisarlik today.
