Decadebox BC 117 br clear right Events and trends 1178 BC, April 16 A solar eclipse occurs. This may have marked the return of Odysseus , legendary Monarch King of Ithaca , to his kingdom after the Trojan War . He discovers a number of suitors competing to marry his wife Penelope , whom they believe to be a widow, in order to succeed him on the throne. He organizes their slaying and re establishes himself on the throne. The date is surmised from a passage in Homer s Odyssey , which reads, The Sun has been obliterated from the sky, and an unlucky darkness invades the world. This happens in the context of a new moon and at noon, both necessary preconditions for a full solar eclipse. ref cite news first John last Wilford title Homecoming of Odysseus May Have Been in Eclipse url http www.nytimes.com 2008 06 24 science 24home.html?ref science publisher The New York Times date 2008 06 25 accessdate 2008 06 25 ref In 2008, to investigate, Dr Marcelo O. Magnasco , an astronomer at Rockefeller University , and Constantino Baikouzis, of the Observatorio Astr nomico de La Plata in Argentina, looked for more clues. Within the text, they interpreted three definitive astronomical events there was a new moon on the day of the slaughter as required for a solar eclipse Venus was visible and high in the sky six days before and the constellations Pleiades and Bo tes were both visible at sunset 29 days before. Since these events recur at different intervals, this particular sequence should be unique the doctors found only one occurrence of this sequence while searching between 1250 and 1115 BC, the 135 year spread around the putative date for the fall of Troy. It coincided with the eclipse of April 16, 1178 BC. 1180 1178 BC Collapse of the Hittite Empire . Their capital, Hattusa , falls around or slightly after 1180 BC.
