This translation effort aims to present the Trojan War as a historical event, as recorded by John Malalas, because this war, as a poetic narrative, is known from the Homeric epics.
In this sense, we assume it will be interesting and useful for educators and students who wish to engage with a purely human event, arising from the works of individuals and their actions, without divine interventions, even though there were many, poetically speaking, within the diverse epic work of our golden poet.
The sources that Malalas had were those written by the following authors: Dictys of Crete, Sisyphus of Chios, Homer, Domnicus, Themis, Minos, Aulaias, Euripides.
