A contingent of Dardanians figures among Troy's allies in the Trojan War. [1] Homer makes a clear distinction between the Trojans and the Dardanoi, [2] however, "Dardanoi"/"Dardanian" later became essentially metonymous–– or at least is commonly perceived to be so–– with "Trojan", especially in the works of Vergil such as the Aeneid.
Other parts of the Trojan War were told in the poems of the Epic Cycle, also known as the Cyclic Epics: the Cypria, Aethiopis, Little Iliad, Iliou Persis, Nostoi, and Telegony. Though these poems survive only in fragments, their content is known from a summary included in Proclus' Chrestomathy. [6] The authorship of the Cyclic Epics is uncertain.
In the Iliad, there were Pelasgians on both sides of the Trojan War. [16] In the section known as the Catalogue of Trojans, they are mentioned between the Hellespontine cities and the Thracians of Southeastern Europe (i.e., on the Hellespontine border of Thrace). [17]
