DISCLAIMER: I (along with, as far as I can tell, everyone else on this board) am well aware that the Trojan War as depicted in Homer's Iliad is less than factually accurate, and the POD I'm looking for will have nothing to do with the specific events described therein.
That being said, there was a real war between Schliemann's Troy and Mycenaean civilization that led to the city being sacked, but could the situation have been reversed? Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have Schliemann's Troy (or a culturally similar analogue in Anatolia) sack a great city in Greece, become the dominant power in the Aegean, and then have the Dorics or Hellenes or whoever invades later write an epic about it. What would Aegean civilization look like if this were to occur? Bonus points if the city destroyed is Mycenae herself!
