Homer’s Iliad was probably written around 750 BCE, right around the time the Greeks adopted the Phoenician alphabet; Odyssey was likely written close to 100 years later. Yet these epic poems are set five centuries earlier, during a Bronze Age conflict between Mycenaean Greeks and the Anatolian Hittite state of Wilusa—Ilion in Greek, better known to us as Troy. Iliad retells the ninth year of the war, when the demigod hero Achilles refuses to fight over an issue of disrespect by the high king Agamemnon; Odyssey retells the homecoming story of Odysseus, the last Greek hero to make it home after Troy’s destruction.
