It is said that the greatest literature of ancient Greece consisted of poems about two great wars. They were at Thebes and at Troy. Sadly, most of these poems have been lost. The only ones recovered are Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey" about the Trojan War. We do know enough to reconstrust the basic tales, and I have long found them to be fascinating. I bought Homer's two works when I was age 10 after seeking them a while. Heinrich Schliemann found Troy using the Iliad as a guide. There were several levels of the city, and two had been besieged...as the myths say. Heracles (Hercules in Latin) took Troy once, and two of his sons were involved in the second war dated 1194-1184 BCE traditionally. The tale is much too long to do justice to it here. I advise you to read Homer's immortal poems first as an introduction to the tale.
