What happened after the collapse of Troy?

The Period Homer telling in Iliad, namely in 1200s B.C.E., in the West of Anatolia, we know from Hitittean documents that there were a series of Luwi states. Wilusa (Ilios/Trois); Seha and its capital Abasa (Ephesos) across the Hermos (Gediz) and Kaikos (Bakırçay) rivers and land of Mira etc.

Because there are no more Hitittean documents after Trojan War (1195-90 Β.C.Ε.), we can't say exactly how these states were collapsed. But thanks to the poet of Iliad, Homer, some informati- ons about late Bronz Age are preserved. If we look from archeo- logical perspective, after Homeric Troy collapsed around 1180's B.C.E, the city was restored by the inhabitants (Troy VIIa). After a short while, this settlement again collapse around 1100s B.C.E (Troy VIIb1). After this period, one observes that a new culture with Balkan elements arises (Troy VIIb2). This period, called in the archeological sense "dark ages", continues until 8th century B.C.E. In that period there was a very weak settlement in Troy. In 8th century B.C.E., while Greek colonial cities were constructed, Greeks build in Trojan remnants a sacred field and after that the city began to be called as Ilion. Some historians from that period give some important informations with regard to political develop- mants after the Trojan War. For example Lydian historian Ksant- hos (5th century B.C.E.) writes that the Phyrigians who were living in Troas, immigrated after war to the Anatolia.
