Iliad, mentioned in the ancient city of Troy, Trojan War passes

 
Formerly known as Troy or Troy (Hittite: Vilusa or Truvisa, Greek: Τροία, Ίλιον Troy or Ilion, Latin: Troy or Ilium), thought to have been written by Homer in the Iliad, one of the two mentioned in verse epic war passes the ancient city of Troy.
The ancient Mount Ida (Kaz Dagi), on the outskirts is located in the province of Canakkale. In the 1870s by the German amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann discovered the ancient city, near the village of Tevfikiye works largely from Turkey, Germany and Russia. The ancient city, the World Heritage List since 1988, the National Park status since 1996.

French is the language of the ancient city, the effect of "Troi" In reading the word in Turkish, the word in Troy, now replaced by "Troy" has started to leave. If the main reason the city's historical and internationally, "Troy" and is known as the Turkish accurate reading of the word "Trojan" is. But the issue is still controversial. In particular name is common in old documents, the Trojan and the Trojan War is still common name as in the case of Troy, to name some.

Letoon information about the ancient city, near Fethiye

 
The Letoon, sometimes Latinized as Letoum, was a sanctuary of Leto near the ancient city Xanthos that was one of the most important religious centres of the Lycian region in Anatolia. The site is located between the towns of Kaş and Fethiye in Antalya province of Turkey, approximately four km south of Xanthos along the Xanthos River.
Archaeological finds at the site, which was never a fully occupied settlement, but remained essentially a religious centre, date back to the late sixth century BCE, before the Greek cultural hegemony in Lycia, which began in the early fourth century. In earlier times, the site was probably already sacred to the cult of an earlier mother goddess— she is Eni Mahanahi in Lycia— which was superseded by the worship of Leto, joined by her twin offspring.
The "Lycian" Apollo, a Roman pastiche in a Praxitelean manner
In Greek mythology, a claim for an early cult of Apollo in the valley of the Xanthus, unsupported by history or archaeology, was provided by two myths, each connected to an eponymous "Lycus". One sprang from the autochthonous Telchines of Rhodes and would have colonized the region at the time of Deucalion's flood; the other Lycus was an Athenian brother of Aegeus driven from Athens, a seer who introduced the cult of Lycaean Apollo, which a folk etymology connected with Lycia and therefore made him its Athenian colonizer: see Lycus.

The foundations of the Hellenistic temple dedicated to Leto, and her children, Artemis and Apollo, have been excavated under the direction of H. Metzger from 1962.Archæologists have excavated much of the ruins; discoveries include the Letoon trilingual, bearing inscriptions in Greek, Lycian and Aramaic, which has provided crucial keys in the deciphering of the Lycian language; it is conserved in the Fethiye Museum.

The sacrosanctity of the site is the purport of an anecdote related by Appian concerning Mithridates, who was planning to cut down the trees in the sacred grove for his own purposes in his siege of the Lycian coastal city of Patara, but was warned against the sacrilegious action in a nightmare. The site remained active through the Roman period. The site was Christianised by the construction of an early church, which reused cut stone from the sanctuary, but was abandoned from the seventh century CE.
