Around 1200 B.C., a group of Greeks attacked Troy in modern Turkey. The Trojan War is now a legendary conflict. In reality, it was probably a glorified pirate raid. In the end, the Greeks plundered and torched Troy and the Trojan War passed into legend. Oral historians and story tellers kept the legend alive until Homer wrote it down in The Iliad around 800 B.C.
Hollywood tried to merge history with Homer in 2004's Troy. Here is the fight between Hector and Achilles as portrayed in Troy.
