I hope to join in your discussion very soon. Michael Wood's PBS series "The Trojan War" indicated that according to Hittite records the Greeks had already taken Miletus from hittite control and was trying to entice Troy to join with them. The Trojans preferred loyalty to their friend the Hittites. TROY THEN BECAME THE NEXT TARGET. Program six discusses the translations of Hittite diplomatic records.You might find that particular program interesting.

Thank you again for your interest in Troy.
