Panis = Phoenicians: Panis, the sea-farer businessmen of Gandhara and Baluchistan, migrated to Phoenicia after a quarrel with Persians as recorded by Herodotus.

The Assuwa league, mentioned in Hittite texts from around 1400 BCE, is a good example, but so are the mercenary forces mustered by Muwatalli and the various accounts of united tribes from the Aegean (aka “Sea Peoples”) and even – in later recollections of past events – Homer’s catalogues of ships and Trojan contingents. Practically all contemporary sources indicate that Late Bronze Age petty states used to form military alliances. This leaves tremendous opportunities for current and future generations of archaeologists – on the somewhat neglected eastern side of the Aegean. As a consequence, only one third of the Aegean coasts have thus far been attributed to ancient civilizations. Therefore, it is very probable that two oral traditions, originated in different periods, were mixed in the epic cycle of the Trojan War.Īegean protohistory suffered from a bias when the field was conceived 100 years ago and subsequent research has never questioned the fundamental paradigms of the discipline. In the Odyssey, Homer mentioned the Egyptian Proteus as a prophetic and marine divinity, and he also cited a King Polybos of Egypt, identified by Manetho with the last pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty, who reigned in the period that better fits the destruction of Troy VIIa. Both sovereigns were contemporary, at least during five years, to the young Alaksandu when he could be still a prince, instead of a king.
Some classic authors, different from Homer, connected this Trojan nobleman with a certain Motylos (identifiable with the Hittite King Muwatalli II) and with the Egyptian King Proteus or Ketes (identifiable with Pharaoh Seti I). However, it is plausible that the legendary Prince Alexandros or Paris was based on the historic figure, recorded in a Hittite tablet, of Alaksandu of Wilusa, which is dated to the age of Troy VIh.
The historical background of the Trojan War can be found in the end of Troy VIIa, a city that was burned during an armed conflict but not in the end of Troy VIh, destroyed by an earthquake some 90 years earlier.
