D) The traditional date of the Trojan War is near 1200 BC. The date is actually the consensus (in this case, meaning average) of many ancient historians' dating. Historians such as Ephorous, Sosibious, and Herodotus propose dates ranging from 1135 to 1184 to 1250 BC. Most dates proposed by the ancient historians are within this general range, which puts the traditional date around 1200 BC.
