The primary sources for the myth of the war of Troy are Homer's Illiad and Odyssey.  They are epic poems and you can find very accessible translations.  Every other thing written about the trojan war are based on Homer's epics, so if I were you I'd go right to the source.  Every thing about the Trojan war, the reason it was started and the outcome is presented in Homer's poems.  The Illiad will be the most important source.  It's about how and why the war started and many of the primary battles at troy.  The Oddessey is how the war was won and Oddysseus's adventures home.  Only the beginning of the Oddessey deals with the end of the Trojan war, so you won't need the rest for your present question.  Ive never seen the movie, so I'm not sure how acurate it is.

The following account comes from later Greek and Roman poetry and drama.\n\nAchilles fights and kills the Amazon queen Penthesilea and the Aethiopean king Memnon. Very soon he is killed on the battlefield by Paris with a poisoned arrow to his vulnerable heel. (See Achilles' Heel). After his death, Ajax and Odysseus feud over who should keep his armour. They submit their disagreement to an impromptu court and Odysseus is awarded the armour. Ajax subsequently goes mad and slaughters his livestock, believing they are the Greek commanders. He then kills himself in shame.\n\nThe Amazons come to join the battle. Philoctetes, a crippled Greek who had been abandoned by the others along the journey, was recruited by the god Heracles because it was prophesied the war could not be won without his bow.\n\nOdysseus devises a plan to take the city. He has his men build a large, hollow wooden horse, and then he and twenty others hide inside. The Greek ships withdraw out of sight of Troy, apparently admitting defeat, and leave behind the horse, purportedly as an offering to Poseidon for good winds on the return trip. The Trojans take this inside the great walls of Troy, and then feast and celebrate their victory and the war's end. At night, Odysseus and the soldiers creep out of the horse and open the gates to the other Greeks who have sailed back under cover of night. The city is sacked, and in some accounts burned for seven years.\n\nPriam is killed. According to one tradition, Hector's wife Andromache throws their son Astyanax and herself from the ramparts to save them from slavery. According to another, Astyanax was killed by Neoptolemus, son of Achilles, to ensure that Hector's son could not seek vengeance for his father's death against Achilles' son. Andromache became Neoptolemus' concubine, later to marry Helenus, Hector's brother. A Roman tradition held that Aeneas escaped wi

Though there is not an exact date, he must have died sometime between 1230 bc and 1180 bc, or at least that is when historians and archeologist believe the real Trojan war took place. Assuming Homers retelling of the war was somewhat correct that Achilles did perish there. Sorry I can not give an exact date, but very interesting question.

I clicked on the link, but I saw that you had already been helped!\n\nPerhaps Odesseus/Ulysses was a comic hero?  I mean, come on!  A big wooden horse to defeat the Trojans?  Somehow I think this was a play on Trojan ego...  Was the giant wooden horse compensating for something?  Sorry.  I love double meanings...
