| | Aeneas, the son of Anchises and the goddess Aphrodite and one of the important Trojan leaders in the Trojan War, fled from the city while the Greeks were destroying it, carrying his father, Anchises, his son Ascanius, and his ancestral family gods with him. | | | Since he had no armour (Hector had stripped the body of Patroclus and had put on the armour of Achilles), Thetis asked the divine artisan Hephaestus, the crippled god of the forge, to prepare some divine armour for her son. | | | One of the conditions of Achilles's parents' marriage (the union of a mortal with a divine sea nymph) was that the son born to them would die in war and bring great sadness to his mother. |

| | The transfer of place-names naturally led to the belief that the events described in the epics took place in Greece and the Mediterranean and that the Achaeans were Greeks. | | | The Greeks did not know that the Trojans who once lived in that area were migrants, as the collective memory of this fact was lost during the Dark Ages (1200-750 BC). | | | The false assumption that Troy and the Trojan War was waged near Hissarlik in Asia Minor (Turkey), where no traces of the Trojan war are found, dates back to the eighth century BC when the first Greeks settled on Turkey's west coast. |

| | But the inter-cultural quality of the Iliad does seem to require some explanation, and the notion of an epic poet who was versed in both cultures does make sense as a way of explaining the difference of portrayal of Greeks and Trojan. | | | So little is known about "Homer" himself, even if he existed or was one of a group of poets, that we cannot speak with authority of fact in discussing him. | | | This is also a good place for scenes of the excavations at Troy and surrounding countryside, also sea and Bosporos as gateway to the Euxine. |
