Archaeologists in recent years have unearthed evidence that the Trojan War, depicted in Homer's The Iliad, actually took place during the late Bronze Age. An overview of these archaeological investigations describes the methods used to extract the artifacts, the findings from those artifacts, and how those findings support Homer's writings.
Various Archaeologists have made their own contribution to our knowledge of Troy and the possible occurrence of the Trojan War. Schliemann is one such archaeologist who made a significant contribution to our knowledge of Troy. Dörpfeld was another important contributor to the story of Troy, and the possibility of the Trojan War. Carl Blegen's work at Troy has contributed significantly to the information we have.
The women of the Trojan War were courageous, loyal, devoted, strong willed, fortune seeking, inspirational and were seen by the Greek men as being objects.
