There is an odd “Dog that Didn’t Bark” with Greece at this time: every BA culture knew of the Sherden and other Sea Peoples (Egypt named them) except for the Greeks. The only way from Sardinia (assuming that is right (no)) to eastern med is past Greece but nothing like them is found in the record.
isnt there supposed to be some actual fun connection when odysseus says hes a pirate that raided egypt, and it lines up with some Egyptian accounts
