The best guess we can make from the very imperfect sources is that the Achaians (Greeks) made a series of piratical raids in the east of the Aegean Sea. The legendary sources say that an initial attempt was made on Troy but failed. They then pillaged the islands and coast of Asia Minor, returning in the tenth year to Troy when there was nothing else to loot elsewhere. The second attack was successful.
