I am mostly a skeptic about the Trojan War. I've argued against assorted features of the war story on this blog. I have not addressed the historical material much -- the archaeology and the Hittite writings are for others to assess, not me.
But I found a recent film at YouTube that deserves a look from serious thinkers on this topic.
The Trojan War Consensus: Do 'historians agree there was a conflict'?
This video comes from Kiwi Hellenist
His blog features at least 3 entries that are skeptical about an historical Trojan War.
This film argues that the consensus among historians agrees with him. Popular opinion imagines that the consensus is in favor of the thesis that there is an historical conflict behind the story. In fact it is not. The consensus is in favor of a thesis saying there is not enough evidence to assert an historic event behind the story.
