Dan,
No, I was referring to the singular "earth goddess" being replaced by groups of gods, some female (Dawn) and some male (Apollo), and they arrived Everywhere. The proto-Greeks probably arrived from the other side of the Balkans, so they weren't part of the Sea People. But they carried the seed of a newer culture, as recorded in the Iliad.
The introduction of Iron was much older than the events in Cline's book, and we find bimetal weapons in Eurasia and an iron dagger in Tutankhamen's grave. The whole process was slower, earlier, and not the cataclysmic event that Cline wants us to believe.
