Data Bases about Aegean Subjects DBAS: Ahhiyawa Question
The aim of this database is to build up a fully comprehensive tool of
investigation on the complex issue of the "Ahhiyawa question". In 1924
Emile Forrer claimed to have found in the Bogazköy's archives proof of
the historical existence of Homeric Achaeans. Since then, most of the
countless number of studies published on this issue have tried to
demonstrate or to deny the correspondence between the word Ahhiya(-wa)
with an ethnic or place-name value, as it appears in Hittite documents,
and the Greek terms Acaia e Acaioi.
