This book treats the Trojan War from historical aspect separated from myths. There are enough historical facts to treat it in this way because the ancient authors have written a lot about this war. Helena the queen of Sparta or knows as Helen of Troy could have been a reason for this war but in fact she was not the real cause of it, because Achaeans killed before the king of Troy, Laomedon and took in slavery the princes of Troy, Hesiona. So, all this conflict lasted for 30 years from the death of Laomedon, to the fall of Troy. According to Dares of Phrygia a testimony of the war the war itself lasted 10 years, six months and 12 days and brought more than 1.5 million deaths and also thousands of injured people. So for the dimension of time, space and casualties it has the features of and world war. In this book is treated the origin of tribes that participated in this war both from Trojans and Achaeans camps. The origin of those tribes was from Pelasgian and Illyrians that were the oldest people that have inhabited that part of Europe and Asia Minor. So we have had a Dardan dynasty in Troy that had links also with Dardans of Illyria( Kosovo today). The Phrygians of Troy were tribes that emigrated according to ancient authors from region around Epidamnus or Durres of today Albania. Almost all tribes of Troy had links with tribes known in history as Illyrians. All the dynasties of Achaeans with the most important kings as Agamemnon and Menelaus, were ancestors from Pelops of Phrygia and were from the same origin as were the Phrygians too, so Illyrians. The Achaeans population was of Pelasgian origin. The ethic of Trojan war is found all in the Albanian canonical law and today that preserves very well the laws of that time in hospitality, loyalty, blood feud, the non violation of victims, the non removal of armature after death, the pledge and oath, costumes that are inherited from the Pelasgians and Illyrians. For this book are seen only the ancient authors and especially two authors that wrote for it, as Dicty of Crete that participated in war with Achaeans and also Dares of Phrygia that participated with Trojans. Homer is seen only as third source together with all historical sources of antiquity. This book for the first time brings the real origin of the Achaeans that are called after as Greeks when in fact they never called themselves as Greeks. Greek is called according to Aristotle a tribe in Pelasgian Dodona of Epirus, where Albanian Tosk dialect is formed and is today the official language of Albania. So Greek tribe is also linked with Albanians of Epirus that were called as Pelasgians Tosk before 2500 years and are called and Tosks Albanians and today. Historians until now instead to find the real Greeks have invented them. So, it must be reconsidered according to fact all history of antiquity . This was not a war between Greeks and Trojans but between Acheans and Trojans or between tribes known in history as Pelasgian and Illyrians.
