Keywords\n Trojans, Libya, the Sea Peoples, Merneptah, Ramses III, Medinet Habu, Herodotus, Pindar
Pages\n 790–799
Summary\n
The article deals with the data of Herodotus (IV, 191) and Pindar (Pyth. V, 79–86) who mentioned the Trojans in Libya. Based on the Egyptian inscriptions and reliefs from 19th and 20th dynasties the author finds historical parallels to this information. In his view, the evidence of Greek writers goes back to the tradition which reflected real events connected with the collapse in the Aegean and Western Anatolia at the end of 13 – beginning 12 BC and with the migrations of the Sea Peoples in Eastern Mediterranean, Egypt and Libya.
