“Arzawa” was the term applied in Hittite texts to a number of lands in western and southwestern Anatolia during the Middle and Late Bronze Ages. These lands were frequently at war with the Hittites, and although they were eventually reduced to Hittite vassal status, they remained volatile and unreliable subjects until the end of the Hittite empire (early twelfth century bce ). Their populations contained a substantial Indo‐European population, consisting of Luwian and perhaps also Proto‐Carian elements, intermixed with earlier, non‐Indo‐European population groups.
