Troy, located in modern-day Turkey, is an ancient city known for its significant role in Greek mythology, particularly in Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey. The city is believed to have been the site of the Trojan War, a legendary conflict between the Greeks and the Trojans. Archaeologically, Troy is identified with the site of Hisarlik, where extensive excavations have revealed multiple layers of ancient settlements dating back to the early Bronze Age. The most famous layer, Troy VII, is often associated with the time of the Trojan War.
