LEGENDS

Johnston, Ian. The Legend of the Trojan War.

http://webhome.crk.umn.edu/~sneet/WesCiv/TrojanWar.htm

This summary is a brief account of a number of different old stories about the Trojan war. There are often several different, even contradictory, versions of events. There is no one authoritative narrative of the whole war. Many of these stories were obvious current before Homer, and the story continued to be embellished by the Romans and Medieval writers.
