    Ah yes, the daughter who was born when her mother fucked a goose and hatched her from an egg. Famously, all goose-born demigods must be white. Everyone knows this.

      Why is everyone convinced Troy is a Greek state?

      From what I recall there’s no definitive site labeled “Hey historians and argumentative future nerds, this was ilion or Troy”. Priam ruled here, Hector and Achilles died yonder."

      Speculation I remember placing it near Carthage, then Istanbul.

      I of all people should probably know, but I just don’t think it fucking matters, personally.

      Edit: before I get that message, I am aware the illiad is a work of fiction, with a possible degree of basis in truth, or none at all being another possibility.
