 Homer mentions that during the time of the Trojan War, Miletus was an ally of Troy and was city of the Carians, under Nestor and Amphimachus.In the last stage of LHIIIB, the citadel of bronze age Pylos counted among its female slaves a " mi-ra-ti-ja", Mycenaean Greek for "women from Miletus", written in Linear B syllabic script.During the collapse of Bronze Age civilization, Miletus was burnt again, presumably by the Sea Peoples.
