How did the Achaeans seige Troy for 10 year. Their food storage couldnt have been that large.

As this is Reddit so I’m sure I’ll be corrected if I’m wrong but I think a teacher once told me that wars back then weren’t constant but seasonal. So something like the siege of Troy would be on and off for 10 years, not last a solid 10 years. Most of the army wouldn’t be professional soldiers so they would go back home and very now and then and have to tend to the harvest, for example. And then go back to soldiering when they more or less had time.
