The Trojan War legends did give the independent Greek city-states a common cultural basis, but it was just background - they understood that their real origins lay with the different peoples who made up the Greek world - Achaeans, Dorians, Ionians, Aeolians etc, and it was primarily these groupings which guided their cultures, and overall they were conscious of their own city-state. These divisions were at the basis of friendships and enmities which influenced relationships.
