Trojan War - What Time Period?

Pall: The earliest literary evidence for a trojan war is the epic poem the iliad by attributed to a poet, a greek poet called homer. It presupposes there was once a trojanwar, that it took place in a place called troy - some way away from where greeks live. Pall: But actually, and this is where i am going to give you a little bit of a sceptical view of this whole thing in terms of history,. Actually, it only took two or three days to sail from mainland greece to the hellespont. Very, very implausible that they should have spent ten years before this city of troy.
