The name Ahhiyawa denotes a Late Bronze Age kingdom located in mainland Greece and on the Aegean islands, whose people are known to scholars today as Mycenaeans. The native linear b records provide little information on political organization, but archaeological considerations make it highly likely that the city Mycenae was the capital of this realm. Tanayu ( Tny ) of 18th Dynasty Egyptian inscriptions probably refers to the same polity. Despite minor phonological difficulties, the name Ahhiyawa (earlier form Ahhiya), found only in Hittite cuneiform documents, must be equated with the ethnicon Achaian attested in the Homeric poems ( see homer , achaians ). Nonetheless, efforts to identify particular Ahhiyawans and western Anatolians mentioned in Hittite sources with characters in the Iliad or Odyssey are questionable.
