Wasn't it an attack by Mycenaean raiders?

Interesting names have been found in Hittite texts, mentioning localities such as "Ahhiyawa" (Achaia?), Wilusa (Ilios), Miliwata (Miletus?), personages such as Tawagalawa (Eteocles, from *E-tewoclewes), Alaksandu (Alexandros, another name for Paris), etc.

Just a question, Greeks united to invade Troy. Didn't Troy had any allies in the Asia Minor? Did they get any help from other cities nearby? Did the Trojans stayed behind the walls, or did they fight in the beaches in the beginning? |
Some of Troy's more exotic allies included the Amazons and Ethiopians. They were fierce warriors but no match for Achilles

What are you talking about? Peloponessos took its name from Pelopas. You know Mykines?

Dionysius of Halicarnassus (1.6162) states that Dardanus' original home was in Arkadia thus Dardanians were at most ancient times greeks. He was the ancestor of the Dardanians of the Troad and, through Aeneas, of the Romans.

Homer does not refer any translators btw the Greeks and the Troyans.
omaimon(the same blood)
omothriskon(the same religion)
omoglosson(the same language)

Agon Homer & hesiod,Papyrus III,dublin 1891,page 70)
<<And the Trojan genos is Hellenic from the start>>
Αγων Ομηρου και Ησιοδου,Παπυρος ΙΙΙ,Δουβλ. 1891 σελ 70)
