[edit] "Greeks and Trojans"
First its the name.We know of course that Achaeans were a Greek tribe but Homer never said "Greeks" or "Greece". And something else, a lot of ethnolinguistics believe that Trojans were Greeks too.
I also saw that "Achaeans had allies". I am not sure who are you referring to but the Trojans had many-many allies from Asia Minor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Αριστόδημος (talk • contribs) 22:34, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
- And what will you tell us about? -- πϵρήλιο ℗ 00:49, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
- If you mean this: List of Trojan War characters and this: List of Iliad characters hint is missing in the article, I would say: “Yes, you're right!”. -- πϵρήλιο ℗ 00:58, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Metallurgical Timeline
I read the Iliad and Odyssey and Helen was NOT an abductee. She went with Paris willingly. Odysseus calls Helen a faithless woman during a party after the war. Helen eloped with Paris. Read the book!
Homer writes of Bronze swords, axes and helmets. They had Iron swords around 1225 BCE as well as knives axes and helmets.
The writing shows us that the Trojan War happened before the advent of Iron swords in war. I believe Michael Wood of BBC Manchester. The Trojan War must have happened about 2225-2250 BCE, before Iron was used. The story probably happened two or three times and the stories were bard blended.

- "Bard blended": that's good. Sounds just like Heaney! --Old Moonraker (talk) 10:09, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
