The mythology Trojan describes the myths, legends and religion in inhabitants of Troad, the Trojans and the Dardanians.
Troy is depicted as a mighty kingdom of the Heroic Age, a mythical time when monsters roamed the land and gods interacted directly with humans. The city is said to have ruled the Troad until the Trojan War led to its complete destruction at the hands of the Greeks. The story of its destruction was one of the cornerstones of mythology and literature greek, featured prominently in the Iliad and Odyssey, as well as many other poems and plays.
His legacy played an important role in society Greek, many prominent families claiming descent from those who had fought there. In Archaic times, a new city was built on the site where the legendary Troy was believed to have stood. In classical times, this city became a tourist destination, where visitors left offerings for legendary heroes.
The Dardanoi (its modern terms being Dardanians or Dardans) were a legendary people of Troad, located in northwestern Anatolia. The Dardanoi were descendants of Dardanus, the mythical founder of Dardanus, an ancient city in Troad. A contingent of Dardanians are among Trojan allies in the Trojan War.
