At least not in the Iliad though it gets short mentions in the Odyssey.
Most of what we know of it appeared in non-Homeric stories and most famously (nowadays) in Virgil.

That is so, but my understanding was that those later stories tie back to a lost epic (Iliupersis) that, while not officially attributed to Homer, was being sung contemporaneously with the other stories of the Trojan war cycle.
