Troas
Alexandria Troas was founded by Antigonus, one of Alexander the Great’s commanders, in 310BC (see Map 24). Troas became a Roman ‘colonia’ – a colony populated by veteran soldiers and their families – during the reign of the Emperor Augustus. It would have been a place of fascination and mystery to an educated Greek speaking man such as Paul, as it was close to the site of the fabled ancient city of Ilium (Troy).
Paul would have been familiar with Homer’s account of Helen – the beautiful wife of King Menelaus, abducted by the Trojans and later rescued by the Greeks who sailed across the Aegean Sea and built a wooden horse in order to gain entry to the city.
