If I remember the mythology correctly, Helen was the wife of Menelaos king of Sparta and the Hellenic expedition included the kings of city-states Agamemnon, Odysseus, achilles etc. Agamemnon of mikines was the richest and leader of the Greeks, achilles was younger and the strongest and Odysseus the smartest who thought the Trojan horse story. The Iliad does not describe all the story but it is a tragedy starting with a quarrel between Agamemnon and achilles and ending when achilles kills and gives the body of hector to his father Priam king of Troy.
When Hadrian visited Troy in Ad 124, this was a stop of his during a tour of the entire Roman Empire. I can't remember how long it took him to visit every province, he might have been gone 2 years. Hardrian was an amazing Emporer and is easily in the top 5 of all time greatest Emperors, and while subjective, many would say he is in the top 3, and would I. He is my favorite one.
Wow!! Just wonderful, oh all those layers of history in one place, absolutely amazing. Thanking you for taking the time to show Troy. Hope you’re feeling much better.❤❤

Visited the Troy ruins couple of years ago as part of a larger trip around Trukeye. I recommend that you hire a guide to explain the ruins to you otherwise you will not get much out of visiting the site. Given the time and cost to get there you might want to understand what you are looking at while there.
You should go to Bosnia while you’re in the area it’s an amazing country – medjugorje, Mostar, kravice, pyramids in visoko. So much to see!
take care
Strange that it doesn't look anything like its Hollywood depiction in the movie "Troy" with Brad Pitt.
I've heard it was actually a wooden gopher.
Great sound tracks 🥓👍🇨🇦
❤🤍❤
that is a very old city. saludos
How much was the bus ride back? The taxi ride there sounded expensive by Turkish standards
holy crazy our ancestor really like to stack rocks, we probably call ourself 5000 years ago, no humans but rock stackers . saludos
Gabriel makes ancient history interesting as opposed to when I was in school and hated it. I would literally nodaway and never learned it period. Thanks for the tour.😊
The Roman poet Virgil in the story in the Aeneid, stated that Laocoon advised the Trojans not to receive the horse from the Greeks. However, they disregarded his advice. Virgil coined the phrase, 'BE WARY ( BEWARE) OF GREEKS BEARING GIFTS.'
It's amazing that so many great historians randomly show up in the comment section. Free Scotland 🏴
You skiped the new Museum in Troy-Why?
Do you plan to visit Marmaris too?

Congratulations Gabriel for knowing ancient Greek history so well.😊
Even Greeks like i am don't remember almost anything!😮
However, the city exists, therefore it's obvious that there wasn't war because we can question other things in history as well
Great video G, very interesting, i visited Troy like 20 years ago. Sure it was very cheap to get into and no board walks. Nice to see its being protected.
Wow cheap meal, i love the turkish lental soup.
Wow,,that was my History and Literature subject in college, Iliad and Odyssey..I love the old movie Odysseus, watched it many times,wanted to watch again but can not find a copy..
I was inside the horse in 2014.
Plenty of horrific evidence not to live in a strategically valuable area
Thanks Gabe 👍 interesting to see how troy looks like today. I visited the site in 1989 and nothing from your video was present except for the ruins 😄 no barrier or entrance whatsoever. They were still excavating and restoring, but we could just roam the area freely. In that year I visited several ancient sites in Greece and Turkey. If you haven’t visited yet I recommend the site of Mycenae. All these sites are historically connected. Cheers 🍻
I hope you feel better soon. Sitting here watching your amazing videos of Turkey from Oaxaca, Mexico….I'm recovering from dengue fever. No fun.
Interesting video. Thank you for the history lesson. -Marc
they should have checked for an opening to the horse first i would have built a giant rv myself with a working fridge sink stove toilets shower they could have been sitting outside there for weeks + food & beer
