Seems like there was some mention of Achilles struggle in the Scamander and that his glory would be covered in silt.

A German team has been conducting ongoing excavations at Troy since 1988 and has made some important discoveries. The Project Troia website has news in English and German about the annual digs and publications.

conquered by the army of the Spartan king Menelaus, who sought to reclaim his wife Helen

Bzzzt! Yes, Helen was the wife of Menelaus, but Menelaus was not the leader of the Greeks. That honor went to his brother Agammemnon. So, Homer got it right, but this journalist did not.
