'''Troy''' (Greek: Τροία) also known as Ilium, was the chief city of the [[Trojans]] in Asia Minor.  It was attacked and laid seige to by the [[Greeks]] in the [[Trojan War]], an historical event described in poetic terms in [[Homer]]'s [[Iliad]].  The German archaeologist [[Heinrich Schleimann]] identified the most probable site of Troy in the 1870's.
