The story of the Trojan War is famously told in Homer’s Iliad, but could there be more to the tale than just myth? In this episode, we explore the possibility that the Trojan War was not only a Greek legend, but also a historical event documented by the Hittites. What do ancient Hittite texts reveal about their interactions with Troy? Join us as we examine the textual evidence, from royal correspondences to battle reports, and ask whether the Hittites recorded a war against the city of Troy — or if the legendary conflict is simply a myth shaped by time and storytelling.
