Resumen
Aunque no exista, todavía, una certeza absoluta para la leyenda de la Guerra de
Troya, diversos especialistas y arqueólogos han destinado sus vidas en la búsqueda de dicha
realidad, intentando acercarnos lo máximo posible a ella. Existen numerosas fuentes, tanto
literarias como arqueológicas, que han permitido transmitir la historia durante miles de años
y que ésta, haya podido llegar hasta nuestras manos, es motivo de agradecimiento, pues ha
estimulado la imaginación de los hombres continuamente desde la Antigüedad. Teniendo en
cuenta el problema al que nos enfrentamos a la hora de adentrarnos en la complejidad del
mundo troyano, en este trabajo se han revisado estudios de diversos especialistas para
intentar plasmar, de forma documentada, la existencia de todo lo confuso de la cuestión, así
como aquello que haya de ser calificado como no real. Para ello se ha analizado numerosos
puntos de vista, tanto las narraciones antiguas, las fuentes históricas griegas e hititas, las
fuentes arqueológicas y las aportaciones más novedosas de las investigaciones más recientes,
con el claro objetivo de plasmar una diferencia entre mitología e historicidad.
