| Apr 19 at 19:06 | comment | added | Surfmonkey707 | Vergil was 1st century, Homer was 7th or 8th century. I am looking for any information that predates Homer. What I am trying to do, is establish the historical basis for the 1150 bc date for the fall of Troy. So far we have no reference or hints prior to Homer. Which brings that into question. | |
