Fall of Troy

Myth & story

The sack of Ilion after the horse and the burning city. Not trojan-horse as the stratagem object alone, and not the Iliad’s mid-war books.

Also known as Sack of Troy · Sack of Ilium

Roman religion

  • Fall of Troy appears in Roman religion.

    Virgil’s Aeneid Book 2 narrates the sack of Ilion — the fall of Troy as Aeneas tells it. A named sack episode in that epic, not trojan-horse as the stratagem object alone and not the Iliad’s mid-war books (which stop before the sack).

    from Virgil · Aeneid, 19 BCE (unfinished at the poet’s death)
