Could the Hittites conceivably attack and even settle in Greece? The Hittite Empire stretched from Syria to the Aegean. They were an Indo-European people, and judging by how similar their names sound, they don't seem to be all that distantly related to the Ancient Greeks (makes sense, they were both early Indo-European groups in the area, but that aside). The Hittites often got wrapped up in wars with Egypt over Canaan and Syria, as well as other local powers, but they had vassal states all along the Aegean, including the mythical Troy.
Historically the opposite of what I ask happened, with Ancient Greeks settling in Anatolia, and helped bring about the collapse of the Hittite Empire. I'm curious if the Hittites could possibly replace the Greeks in parts of the Balkans, or if that is too far?
