Extra History ： The Trojan War – History vs. Myth – Extra History – Part 1
📜 The Trojan War: History vs. Myth – On Extra Mythology we’ve been covering the myth of the Trojan War recorded in the Iliad, but that’s all it is right? There’s no way a massive war like that was actually fought. Well… yes and no. The Trojan War might not have unfolded the way Homer’s muses sing with the Trojan Horse, Achilles, Agamemnon or Hector, BUT there was a real, historical Troy! How exactly did we find it? That’s a story in and of itself and it all begins with a man named Schliemann.

It was cosmic coincidence that this video is airing right after our series on the Iliad, so the beginning material might be a bit familiar. So we’ll cut up the video into:
