I just watched the movie troy and was wondering….?

This might sound stupid but is it based on a true story? Like was there actually a great warrior called Achilles (obviously didn’t fight quite like he did in the movie) and was there a trojan horse etc? Because i’ve heard of the saying Achilles heel before and that’s obviously where it came from

There was a city / state of Troy, and there were numerous wars over the trade routes of the Mediterranean / Black seas, so, yes, there was a Trojan War. Achilles and Ajax, etc. may have been mighty warriors who became the subjects of songs and tall tales, like Abraham, Caesar, or even Davy Crockett!

The Trojan War by Strauss, Barry S. Edition ILL, 0 $21.99 Based on the latest archaeological research and written by a leading expert on ancient military history, the true story of the most famous battle in history is every bit as compelling as Homer's epic account – and confirms many of its details. The Iliad and The Odyssey are cornerstones of Western literature. But did the war they describe really happen? Spectacular new archaeological evidence suggests that it did. Recent excavations and newly translated Hittie texts reveal that Troy was a large, wealthy city allied with the Hittie Empire. Located at the strategic entrance to the Dardanelles, the link between the Aegean and Black Sea, it was a tempting target for marauding Greeks, the Vikings of the Bronze Age. The war may have been the inevitable consequence of expanding Greek maritime commerce. Troy was destroyed by fire between 1200 and 1180 B.C.; large piles of sling stones, arrowheads and spearheads (not to mention skeletons that had been hacked by swords) suggest that it had prepared for a siege, but may have suffered a sudden conquest. At the end, some ploy – which has come down to us as the Trojan horse, and may have been just that – allowed the Greeks to breach its walls. In The Trojan War, master storyteller Barry Strauss puts legend into its historical context – without losing it poetry and grandeur.
