"The ancient Greek story of the war between Greece and Troy is an epic of love, revenge, sorrow and bloodshed. Many people thought that it was just a myth and that the city of Troy itself never existed. But in 1870 a German archaeologist called Schliemann discovered the remains of a city (see picture) that may well have been Troy.
