If Tarhunt-assa means "City of Tarhunt" (Luwian), then surely Parnassos means "City of Parna (Achaean). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.68.244 (talk) 08:21, 22 October 2008 (UTC) 

The word Parn- in Luwian, as well as in Hittite, means house. 67.194.71.210 (talk) 15:43, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Tarhuntassa and western Anatolia
I've restored this:
 * [The treaty between Tudhaliya IV and Kurunta] unlike previous treaties involving Tarhuntassa, calls to witness the Hittites' vassal kings of Mira and the Seha River Land on the Aegean coast. This implies that Tarhuntassa's stature was now a matter of importance for all western Anatolia.

This is at least better than what I'd originally speculated about Mira + Seha River being Tarhuntassa's vassals. If Tarhuntassa's spread of importance, if not influence, over Mira and Seha River is not relevant to this topic, then explain please. --Zimriel 15:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

This is a subjective opinion. Same treaty has kings of Karkamis and Amurru among the witnesses. Does that mean those lands were under the influence of Tarhuntassa too? Also, the other Tarhuntassa treaty (Ulmi-Tesup) does not mention Kings of Mira and Seha River at all, but has kings of Isuwa and Karkamis among the witnesses. Does that mean Isuwa and Karkamis were under the influence of Tarhuntassa? Presense of those kings among the witnesses has nothing to do about them being under the influence of Tarhuntassa. Troy = Tarhuntassa equation has no basis either. 67.194.71.210 (talk) 15:32, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

What is the crap about Tahuntassa being the Kaskan(???) name of Troy(???)? Tarhuntassa's location in south-central Anatolia is absolute, only the specific location is uncertain. 76.226.152.91 (talk) 02:02, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Çağdın near Antep?
HittiteMonuments.info rather casually glosses TONITRUS(URBS) as "Tarhuntassa(?)" in this relief from Çağdın near Antep. Is there a more scholarly source to back up this theory, I wonder? Q·L·1968 ☿ 04:18, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
