Editing Troy (section)

==Name==

In [[Classical Greek]], the city was referred to as both ''Troia'' ({{lang|grc|Τροία}}) and ''Ilion'' ({{lang|grc|Ἴλιον}}) or ''Ilios'' ({{lang|grc|Ἴλιος}}). [[metre (poetry)|Metrical]] evidence from the ''[[Iliad]]'' and the ''[[Odyssey]]'' suggests that the latter was originally pronounced ''Wilios''. These names seem to date back to the Bronze Age, as suggested by [[Hittites|Hittite]] records which refer to a city in northwest Anatolia called {{transliteration|hit|[[Wilusa]]}} ({{lang|hit|𒌷𒃾𒇻𒊭}}) or {{transliteration|hit|Truwisa}} ({{lang|hit|𒆳𒌷𒋫𒊒𒄿𒊭}}) which is generally identified with the site of Hisarlık, near [[Tevfikiye, Çanakkale|Tevfikiye]].<ref name=Korfmann-2007-Winkler/>{{efn|"''Troy'' or ''Ilios'' (or ''Wilios'') is most probably identical with ''Wilusa'' or ''Truwisa'' ... mentioned in the Hittite sources<ref name=Korfmann-2007-Winkler/>}}<ref name="Burney2004"/><ref name="auto1"/><ref name="auto"/> In Greek myth, these names were held to originate from the names of the kingdom's founders, [[Tros (mythology)|Tros]] and his son [[Ilus (son of Tros)|Ilus]].<ref>{{cite book |author=[[Diodorus Siculus]] |title=[[Bibliotheca historica]] |at=[https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/4D*.html#75.3 4.75.3] }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |author=[[Virgil]] |title=[[Aeneid]] |at=[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0054%3Abook%3D6%3Acard%3D637 6.637-678] }}</ref>
