On this episode of Dave Does History, we turn the clocks back to April 24, 1183 BCE—the day Troy burned.

Join Dave as he walks through the smoldering ruins of the legendary city, uncovering the epic tale of gods, warriors, betrayal, and a giant wooden horse.

From Achilles’ wrath to Aeneas’ escape, this story shaped empires and echoed through time. Drawing from Homer, Virgil, and archaeological clues, we blend myth and memory into a vivid narrative of the Bronze Age’s fiery twilight.

Buckle up—history is about to get heroic, tragic, and just a bit divine.
