The Gods of the Phœnician also Kings of Atlantis

The Phœnicians tell us, "Ouranos had by Ge four sons: Ilus (El), who is called Chronos, and Betylus (Beth-El), and Dagon, which signifies bread-corn, and Atlas (Tammuz?)." Here, again, we have the names of two other kings of Atlantis.

"And Dagon, after he had found out bread-corn and the plough, was called Zeus-Arotrius."
