How Troy Fell
<p>The fortress of Troy, also known as Ilium, has protected the southern entrance to the Dardanelles Strait since ancient times. Its name is linked to the city’s legendary founder, Tros, and its second name is to his son, Ilos. This city was situated in a strategically important strait, allowing control over virtually all maritime trade between the Mediterranean Sea and all Asian countries. Not far from it would be Constantinople, built for the same purpose, while by that time, the lagoon near Troy would be silted up, becoming unnavigable. Troy was located on a hill, which today is called Hisarlik, within the territory of Turkey.</p>
