The destruction of all the settled areas along the coast of Asia Minor and adjacent islands by the Greek Achaeans came to an end after ten years, not a climax, with the sack of the last of its major cities, Troy in the 12th Century BCE. Thereafter there was a great movement of peoples through the eastern Mediterranean. The Greek Dorians moved into the Peloponnese and Crete, the Greek Ionians colonised the Asia Minor coast, the 'Sea Peoples' spread to the Levant and the Islands. This was the Dark Age of Greece, which lasted to the 8th Century BCE, about the time of Homer.
