Person

Alaksandu

c. 1280 BCE · 13th century BCE

Alaksandu was a king of Wilusa in north-western Anatolia in the early 13th century BCE, known from a treaty he made with the Hittite king Muwatalli II around 1280 BCE. The treaty bound him as a Hittite vassal and lists the gods of Wilusa, including one named Appaliuna. Because Wilusa is widely identified with Troy, many scholars compare his name with Alexandros, the other name of Homer's Paris.
