There are a few insights needed in order to understand these facts better. First of all, the originator of Peleset was Rameses 3, the gr-son of Ramese II, User Ma'at Ra, AKA, the Great. When the Sea Peoples (CF. Trude & Moshe Dothan) attacked northern coastal Khemet (Egypt), the troops of Ramesses 3 drove them back, and captured and enslaved them. Once they were settled down, they sent them off to the area of what's now Gaza. As because they were called the Peles, they were sent to live in what became known as Peleset, or the land of the Peles. The relationship of Peles to Pelasges, may not be coincidental.

At the foundational deposits of those early settlements, the Dothans found stirrup jars, marine motifs, gray Minyan ware and other characteristics of the ancient Achaeans, the Ahhiyawa. Thus among those Peles, or Sea Peoples, were many Achaean Greeks from shortly after the time of Homer's Troy. & the Odyssey, at which time Homer stated they DID attack coastal Egypt and Odysseus and his men WERE enslaved, very similarly to what's found on Ramesses' palace and temple Pylon at Deir al-Bahari on the West Bank of the Nile. That is across from the capital, Wuaset (literally, Place of Power), now called El Luxor.

It's easy to see how Peleset gets changed to Philistine and then to Palestina, and then Palestine in our times. That was about 11th C. BC, as well. So the history of the Philistines is also the history of Egypt and comes down even to this day in the Holy Land, Palestine.

To give some archeological and historical background to these findings. & frankly Diomedes (of the Great War Cry) and many other Achaeans were KNOWN to be very huge men, such as Ajax. The mythos of the Titans are not without some basis. This also corroborates the giant, Goliath, as historically within precedence among the Peleset. & thus to Gath.
