The production story

ZED’s three-part Ancient Megacities catalogue includes Troy: Birth of a Myth alongside episodes on Carthage and Persepolis. This entry covers the Troy episode only; it does not count the other two cities as Greek-world productions.

The distributor records 2024 as the production year and lists a 52-minute international episode format. Platform packaging and running times can differ. The Mycenaean connection here is the Homeric and Bronze Age context, not a claim that Troy itself was a Mycenaean Greek city.

Known filming locations

Troy is the archaeological subject. The catalogue does not provide a complete filming itinerary.
