Troy from Homer to the Present Day

The epics Iliad and Odyssey, which were written down approximately 2700 years ago by the bard Homer, who is considered to have lived in the Izmir region in the 8th century BC, have been translated into many languages and have survived to this day. Homer's epics have been continuously processed in different branches of art for millennia and have become the most important works of the World Cultural Heritage.
