In modern day, the exact location of Troy can only be assumed based upon information from ancient texts and excavation efforts. Yet, within The Illiad, it becomes the focal point for the Trojan War. Here, Agamemmon wages war against the Trojans in effort to reclaim Helen, who was stolen by Paris years prior after Aphrodite has promised her to him despite Helen already being married. Troy was described as having high impenadrable walls, leading to the use of the famous Trojan Horse in order to get into the city walls in other texts. It would be favoured by Zeus and Apollo, among others, when the gods decided to take sides during the later parts of the war.
