The Trojan War looms largest in literature, with its foundational source, the Iliad, as the rosy-fingered dawn of Western literature
Of course, the Iliad only represents a few days in the tenth (and last) year of the decade-long siege of Troy and is only part of the so-called Trojan Cycle that represents the whole of the war, but comes to us only through other fragments of classical literature or mythology
