NEW DATA ABOUT THE SEA PEOPLES' MIGRATIONS
Abstract
The article considers data about two Early
Iron Age states in Syria and Cilicia, which were established
in early 12th century B.C. by the migrant Sea Peoples. The
author considers them in the context of all migrations of the
Sea Peoples in late 13th - early 12th centuries B.C. and uses
Ramses III. inscriptions, archaeological data from Eastern
Mediterranean and the Greek epic tradition about the journey
of Amphilochus and Mopsus to Cilicia, Syria and Phoenicia.
On the basis of the complex analysis of the sources the author
states that Greek epic tradition captured two waves of the
Sea Peoples migrations. One of them took place in Southern
Greece and was due to the collapse of the Mycenaean
world. The other one came from the north-west of Anatolia,
where according to Ramses III inscriptions a great war had
taken place. The emergence of the Early Iron Age states in
Syria and Cilicia, established by different ethnic groups of the
Sea Peoples, confirms once again the fact that there was a
long-lasting and heterogeneous process of the Sea Peoples
migrations.
