During the early reign of Hittite king Hattusili III and corresponding the time of mythical Eurystheus, the Hatti tablets record an Achaean-Hittite war over the city of Ilion (Troy), known in the Hatti texts as Wilusa. In ancient Greek tradition, this event is known as Heracles’ (Hercules) expedition against Trojan king Laomedon, taking place c. 1265 BCE, a generation before the Trojan war.
