Mount Zaphon
The Greeks identified Baal Zaphon with Zeus, their chief deity.
Greek mythology also depicted Mount Casius as a place associated with divine power, where Zeus watched over the world.
This conceptual framework is similar to how other cultures viewed prominent mountains, such as Mount Olympus in Greek mythology and Mount Sinai in the Biblical tradition.
Greeks and Romans built their own temples on Mount Zaphon, and the god was now honored as Zeus, ruler of all gods.

What Are The World’s Oldest Stories?
In Greek mythology, they are daughters of Atlas.
Defending the Book of Enoch and Explaining the Pre- and Post-Flood Nephilim
Skiba references the Jewish historian Josephus, who wrote about the giants in his works Antiquities of the Jews, comparing them to the Titans of Greek mythology.
Skiba further notes that the Greeks equated the Nephilim with their Titans, suggesting a shared ancient understanding of giants.
He believes the first generation of Nephilim, described in Enoch, lived for 500 years and were killed off in a conflict similar to the Greek myth of the Titans.
He ties ancient Jewish, Greek, and biblical sources together to argue that giants, the Nephilim, played a significant role in early human history.
Astynome
Astynome, also known as Chryseis, is a figure from Greek mythology.
Astynome was captured during the Trojan War and given as a concubine to the Greek leader Agamemnon.
Her father, Chryses, attempted to ransom her, but when Agamemnon refused, Chryses prayed to Apollo, who sent a plague upon the Greek army.
Agamemnon was a prominent figure in Greek mythology and a central character in several ancient Greek literary works, most notably Homer's Iliad.
He was the king of Mycenae (or Argos) and the leader of the Greek forces during the Trojan War.
As a powerful and authoritative ruler, Agamemnon commanded the various Greek armies in their assault on Troy.
Role in the Trojan War: As commander of the Greek forces, Agamemnon played a central role in organizing the war against Troy.
The God Odi, Woden, or Wotan
He is represented with many of the attributes of the Greek god Zeus, and is supposed by some to be identical with him.
The island of Erytheia
Erytheia is an ancient island from Greek mythology, known for its association with the myth of Heracles (Hercules).
Erytheia's position as one of the farthest known islands in Greek mythology represents the boundary between the known and the unknown.
It was linked to the setting sun, a motif of death, transition, and the distant west, which was often viewed as a gateway to the afterlife in Greek thought.
Some ancient writers, including Strabo, located Erytheia in the region of Gadeira (modern-day Cádiz), and it has been speculated that the island represents early Greek contact with the western Mediterranean and beyond.
Strabo was a Greek geographer who identified Erytheia with the region of Gadeira (modern Cádiz).
The Gods of the Phœnician also Kings of Atlantis
Not alone were the gods of the Greeks the deified kings of Atlantis, but we find that the mythology of the Phœnicians was drawn from the same source.
This connects the Phœnicians with that island in the remote west, in the midst of ocean, where, according to the Greeks, the Titans dwelt.
He is the Uranos of the Greeks, who was the son of Gæa (the earth), whom he married.
The Greek Uranos was the father of Chronos, and the ancestor of Atlas.
This is the legend which the Greeks told of Zeus and Juno.
In the Greek legends it is Zeus who attacks and overthrows his father, Chronos.
Chronos gave Attica to his daughter Athena, as in the Greek legends.
In the Greek mythology the tenth labor of Hercules consisted in driving away the cattle of Geryon, who lived in the island of Erythea, "an island somewhere in the remote west, beyond the
The Kings of Atlantis become the Gods of the Greeks
"The mythology of the Greeks, which their oldest writers do not pretend to have invented, was no more than a light air, which had passed from a more ancient people into the flutes of the Greeks, which they modulated to such descants as best suited their fancies."
Cox as to whether the Greek mythology was underlaid by a nature worship, or a planetary or solar worship.
The Greeks called him "Melicertes," and identified him with Hercules.
But, compared with such ancient nations as the Egyptians and Babylonians, the Greeks were children.
"You Greeks are novices in knowledge of antiquity.
The Greeks, too young to have shared in the religion of Atlantis, but preserving some memory of that great country and its history, proceeded to convert its kings into gods, and to depict Atlantis itself as the heaven of the human race.
The history of Atlantis is the key of the Greek mythology.
Another proof that the gods of the Greeks were but the deified kings of Atlantis is found in the fact that "the gods were not looked upon as having created the world." They succeeded to the management of a world already in existence.
Where two names are given to a deity in the above list, the first name is that bestowed by the Greeks, the last that given by the Romans.
58.) Atlas was described in Greek mythology as "an enormous giant, who stood upon the western confines of the earth, and supported the heavens on his shoulders, in a region of the west where the sun continued to shine after he had set upon Greece." (Ibid., p.
Greek tradition located the island in which Olympus was situated "in the far west," "in the ocean beyond Africa," "on the western boundary of the known world," "where the sun shone when it had ceased to shine on Greece," and where the mighty Atlas "held up the heavens." And Plato tells us that the land where Poseidon and Atlas ruled was Atlantis.
The Greek mythology, in speaking of the Garden of the Hesperides, tells us that "the outer edge of the garden was slightly raised, so that the water might not run in and overflow the land." Another reminiscence of the surrounding mountains of Atlantis as described by Plato, and as revealed by the deep-sea soundings of modern times.
Plato says, speaking of the traditions of the Greeks ("Dialogues, Laws," c.
In other words, this tradition refers to an ancient time when the forefathers of the Greeks were governed by Chronos, of the Cronian Sea (the Atlantic), king of Atlantis, through civilized Atlantean governors, who by their wisdom preserved peace and created a golden age for all the populations under their control--they were the demons, that is, "the knowing ones," the civilized.
Olympus was written by the Greeks "Olumpos." The letter a in Atlantis was sounded by the ancient world broad and full, like the a in our words all or altar; in these words it approximates very closely to the sound of o.
We may, therefore, suppose that when the Greeks said that their gods dwelt in "Olympus," it was the same as if they said that they dwelt in "Atlantis."
It may be urged that Mount Olympus could not have referred to any mountain in Atlantis, because the Greeks gave that name to a group of mountains partly in Macedonia and partly in Thessaly.
The Greek heaven was Atlantis.
Oceanus was at the base of the Greek mythology.
Zeus on one occasion beat her, and threw her son Hephæstos out of Olympus; on another occasion he hung her out of Olympus with her arms tied and two great weights attached to her feet--a very brutal and ungentlemanly trick--but the Greeks transposed this into a beautiful symbol: the two weights, they say, represent the earth and sea, "an illustration of how all the phenomena of the visible sky were supposed to hang dependent on the highest god of heaven!" (Ibid., p.
Poseidon, the first king of Atlantis, according to Plato, was, according to Greek mythology, a brother of Zeus, and a son of Chronos.
For instance, Keleos, who lived at Eleusis, near Athens, hospitably received Demeter, the Greek Ceres, the daughter of Poseidon, when she landed; and in return she taught him the use of the plough, and presented his son with the seed of barley, and sent him out to teach mankind how to sow and utilize that grain.
119.) The Greeks celebrated great festivals in his honor down to the coming of Christianity.
The entire Greek mythology is the recollection, by a degenerate race, of a vast, mighty, and highly civilized empire, which in a remote past covered large parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.
Traditions of Atlantis
Bryant says, "Ad and Ada signify the first." The Persians called the first man "Ad-amah." "Adon" was one of the names of the Supreme God of the Phœnicians; from it was derived the name of the Greek god "Ad-onis." The Arv-ad of Genesis was the Ar-Ad of the Cushites; it is now known as Ru-Ad.
We have already seen that the primal gods of this people are identical with the gods of the Greek mythology, and were originally kings of Atlantis.
The Aditya "are elevated above all imperfections; they do not sleep or wink." The Greeks represented their gods as equally wakeful and omniscient.
"Their character is all truth; they hate and punish guilt." We have seen the same traits ascribed by the Greeks to the Atlantean kings.
Artificial Deformation of the Skull
The Greek and Roman writers had mentioned this practice, but it was long totally forgotten by the civilized world, until it was discovered, as an unheard-of wonder, to be the usage among the Carib Islanders, and several Indian tribes in North America.
The Bronze Age in Europe
This age continued down to what we call the Historical Period, and embraces our present civilization; its more ancient remains are mixed with coins of the Gauls, Greeks, and Romans.
383.) He says, "It seems surprising that the nearest neighbors of the Phœnicians--the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Etruscans, and the Romans--should have manufactured plumbiferous bronzes, while the Phœnicians carried to the people of the North only pure bronzes without the alloy of lead.
And as this commerce could not, as we have seen, have been carried on by the Romans, Greeks, Etruscans, or Phœnicians, because their civilizations flourished during the Iron Age, to which this age of bronze was anterior, where then are we to look for a great maritime and commercial people, who carried vast quantities of copper, tin, and bronze (unalloyed by the lead of the south of Europe) to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, England, France, Spain, Switzerland, and Italy?
If the bronze implements of Europe had been derived from the Phœnicians, Greeks, Etruscans, or Romans, the nearer we approached the site of those nations the greater should be the number of bronze weapons we would find; but the reverse is the case.
What race was there, other than the people of Atlantis, that existed before the Iron Age-before the Greek, Roman, Etruscan, and Phœnician--that was civilized, that worked in metals, that carried on a commerce with all parts of Europe?
The Origin of Our Alphabet
The Greeks added to the ancient alphabet the upsilon, shaped like our V or Y, the two forms being used at first indifferently: they added the X sign; they converted the t of the Phœnicians into th, or theta; z and s into signs for double consonants; they turned the Phœnician y (yod) into i (iota).
The Greeks converted the Phœnician alphabet, which was partly consonantal, into one purely phonetic--"a perfect instrument for the expression of spoken language." The w was also added to the Phœnician alphabet.
We turn now to the archaic Greek and the old Hebrew, and we find the letter h indicated by this sign, , precisely the Maya letter h simplified.
In time the Greeks carried the work of simplification still farther, and eliminated the top lines, as we have supposed the Atlanteans to have eliminated the double strokes, and they left the letter as it has come down to us, H.
We find the precise Maya o a circle in a circle, or a dot within a circle, repeated in the Phœnician forms for o, thus, and , and by exactly the same forms in the Egyptian hieroglyphics; in the Runic we have the circle in the circle; in one form of the Greek o the dot was placed along-side of the circle instead of below it, as in the Maya.
The Samaritan makes it ; the old Hebrew ; the Moab stone inscription gives it ; the later Phœnicians simplified the archaic form still further, until it became ; then it passed into : the archaic Greek form is ; the later Greeks made , from which it passed into the present form, N.
Now suppose a busy people trying to give this sign: instead of drawing the serpent in all its details they would abbreviate it into something like this, ; now we turn to the ancient Ethiopian sign for k (ka), and we have , or the Himyaritic Arabian ; while in the Phœnician it becomes ; in the archaic Greek, ; and in the later Greek, when they changed the writing from left to right, .
In the archaic Phœnician the sign for t is and ; the oldest Greek form is or and the later Greeks gave it to the Romans , and modified this into ; the old Hebrew gave it as and ; the Moab stone as ; this became in time and .
The hieratic Egyptian a was ; the ancient Hebrew, which was or ; the ancient Greek was the foot reversed, ; the later Greek became our A.

The hieratic Egyptian figure for g was ; in the earlier Greek form the left limb of the figure was shortened, thus, ; the later Greeks reversed it, and wrote it ; the Romans, changed this into and it finally became C.
The Greek ph is Φ.
The archaic Phœnician form of l was , or ; the archaic Hebrew was and ; the hieratic Egyptian was ; the Greek form was --the Roman L.
Now, if we turn to the Phœnician, we find that b is represented by the same crescent-like figure which we find in the middle of this hieroglyph, but reversed in the direction of the writing, thus, ; while in the archaic Hebrew we have the same crescent figure as in the Maya, turned in the same direction, but accompanied by a line drawn downward, and to the left, thus, ; a similar form is also found in the Phœnician , and this in the earliest Greek changed into , and in the later Greek into Β.
The Maya e is ; this became in time ; then (we see this form on the Maya monuments); the dots in time were indicated by strokes, and we reach the hieratic Egyptian form, : we even find in some of the ancient Phœnician inscriptions the original Maya circles preserved in making the letter e, thus, ; then we find the old Greek form, ; the old Hebrew, ; and the later Phœnician, : when the direction of the writing was changed this became .
The Samaritan i was formed thus, ; the Egyptian letter i is : gradually in all these the left-hand line was dropped, and we come to the figure used on the stone of Moab, and ; this in time became the old Hebrew , or ; and this developed into the Greek .
We find one form of the Phœnician where the m is made thus, ; and in the Punic it appears thus, ; and this is not unlike the m on the stone of Moab, , or the ancient Phœnician forms , , and the old Greek , or the ancient Hebrew , .
The , x, of the Maya alphabet is a hand pointing downward , this, reduced to its elements, would be expressed some thing like this, or ; and this is very much like the x of the archaic Phœnician, ; or the Moab stone, ; or the later Phœnician or the Hebrew , , or the old Greek, : the later Greek form was Ξ.

It thus appears that the very signs d and r, in the Phœnician, early Greek, and ancient Hebrew, which are lacking in the
3.) Suidas, a Greek lexicographer of the eleventh century, expresses tradition when he says, "Adam was the author of arts and letters." The Egyptians said that their god Anubis was an antediluvian, and it wrote annals before the Flood." The Chinese have traditions that the earliest race of their nation, prior to history, "taught all the arts of life and wrote books." "The Goths always had the use of letters;" and Le Grand affirms that before or soon after the Flood "there were found the acts of great men engraved in letters on large stones." (Fosbroke's "Encyclopædia of Antiquity," vol.
Corroborating Circumstances
LENORMANT insists that the human race issued from Ups Merou, and adds that some Greek traditions point to "this locality--particularly the expression μέροπες ἄνθωποι, which can only mean 'the men sprung from Merou.'" ("Manual," p.21.)
They are not Greek, and cannot be referred to any known language of the Old World.
How comes it that the people of the Barbary States were known to the Greeks, Romans, and Carthaginians as the "Atlantes," this name being especially applied to the inhabitants of Fezzan and Bilma?
Long sea-voyages were necessary to establish that fact, and the Greeks, who kept close to the shores in their short journeys, did not make such voyages.
We have in the Greek mythology legends of the introduction of most of these by Atlantean kings or gods into Europe; but no European nation
That the Assyrians, the Ethiopians, the Persians, the Greeks, and even the Romans embalmed their dead.
We have seen the Pan and Maia of the Greeks reappearing in the Pan and Maya of the Mayas of Central America.
The Indentity of the Civilizations of the Old World and the New
Among the early Greeks Pan was the ancient god; his wife was Maia.
The Oneidas claimed descent from a stone, as the Greeks from the stones of Deucalion.
"In the Greeks of Homer," says Volney, "I find the customs, discourse, and manners of the Iroquois, Delawares, and Miamis.
Herodotus, speaking of the wandering tribes of Northern Africa, says, "They bury their dead according to the fashion of the Greeks.
298.) The North American dog and bear dances, wherein the dancers acted the part of those animals, had their prototype in the Greek dances at the festivals of Dionysia.
Folk-lore.--Says Max Müller: "Not only do we find the same words and the same terminations in Sanscrit and Gothic; not only do we find the same name for Zeus in Sanscrit, Latin, and German; not only is the abstract Dame for God the same in India, Greece, and Italy; but these very stories, these 'Mährchen' which nurses still tell, with almost the same words, in the Thuringian forest and in the Norwegian villages, and to which crowds of children listen under the Pippal-trees of India--these stories, too, belonged to the common heirloom of the Indo-European race, and their origin carries us back to the same distant past, when no Greek had set foot in Europe, no Hindoo had bathed in the sacred waters of the Ganges."
Some Consideration of the Deluge Legends
And the same succession of destructions is referred to in the Greek legends, where a deluge of Ogyges--"the most ancient of the kings of Bœotia or Attica, a quite mythical person, lost in the night of ages"--preceded that of Deucalion.
The Deluge Legends of America
We will see reason hereafter to conclude that Atlantis had a composite population, and that the rebellion of the Titans in Greek mythology was the rising up of a subject population.
This is a representation of the ark; the ancient Jews venerated a similar image, and some of the ancient Greek States followed in processions a model of the ark of Deucalion.
The Deluge Legends of Other Nations
I have also heard the account given by the Greeks themselves of Deucalion; the myth runs thus: The actual race of men is not the first, for there was a previous one, all the members of which perished.
Such is the account given by the Greeks of Deucalion.
"The Greeks had two principal legends as to the cataclysm by which primitive humanity was destroyed.
We will see hereafter that the Greek god Zeus was one of the kings of Atlantis.
It is too much to ask us to believe that Biblical history, Chaldean, Iranian, and Greek legends signify nothing, and that even religious pilgrimages and national festivities were based upon a myth.
When the Greeks told the Egyptian priests of the Deluge of Deucalion, their reply was that they had been preserved from it as well as from the conflagration produced by Phaëthon; they even added that the Hellenes were childish in attaching so much importance to that event, as there had been several other local catastrophes resembling it.
The Egyptians had preserved in their annals the precise history of the destruction of Atlantis, out of which the Flood legends grew; and, as they told the Greeks, there had been no universal flood, but only local catastrophes.

Robert Sepehr begins by discussing the legendary city of Atlantis, as described by the Greek philosopher Plato.
Hermeticism and Ancient Mysteries
Hermeticism is named after Hermes Trismegistus, which means "thrice-greatest Hermes." In Greek mythology, Hermes served as the messenger of the gods, associated with both the planet Mercury and the caduceus—a winged staff intertwined with two snakes.
Selestor’s Men of Atlantis
Aye, like unto the Greek, perhaps, in measure, for the people of those isles but spake the tongue of their ancestry—all Atlantian as they were.
Aye, less Greek than Magyr were they, in their infancy but crude.
Babylon: Gate of the Gods
The name "Babylon" is the Greek form of this original Akkadian name, introduced later when the Greeks encountered the city during their conquests under Alexander the Great.
Therefore, the name Babylon came into broader use through Greek influence, though its roots lie in the Akkadian language.
The Story of Atlantis
From the time of the Greeks and the Romans onwards volumes have been written about every people who in their turn have filled the stage of history.
But the hundreds of thousands of years which elapsed from the time when the earliest Aryans left their home on the shores of the central Asian Sea to the time of the Greeks and Romans, bore witness to the rise and fall of innumerable civilizations.
It is only with the rise of the last family shoots of this Keltic stock, viz., the Greek and Roman peoples, that we come upon historic times.
Le Plongeon, the great authority on this subject, writes: "One-third of this tongue (the Maya) is pure Greek.
Greek is the off-spring of the Sanscrit.
Compare the Sanscrit "Dyaus" or "Dyaus-pitar," the Greek "Theos" and Zeus, the Latin "Deus" and "Jupiter," the Keltic "Dia" and "Ta," pronounced "Thyah" (seeming to bear affinity to the Egyptian Tau), the Jewish "Jah" or "Yah" and lastly the Mexican "Teo" or "Zeo."
The type was an improvement on the two previous sub-races, the features being straight and well marked, not unlike the ancient Greek.
No such system of water supply has ever been attempted in Greek, Roman or modern times—indeed it is very doubtful whether our ablest engineers, even at the expenditure of untold wealth, could produce such a result.
The Atlantean-Amazon War
This marsh was near Okeanos (the Ocean) which surrounds the earth and received its name from a certain river Triton which emptied into it; and this marsh was also near Aithiopia [Africa] and that mountain by the shore of Okeanos which is the highest of those in the vicinity and impinges upon Okeanos and is called by the Greeks Atlas.
.The Amazones (Amazons), then, the account continues, being a race superior in valour and eager for war, first of all subdued all the cities on the island except one called Menê (Moon), which was considered to be sacred and was inhabited by Aithiopian Ikhthyophagoi (Fish-Eaters), and was also subject to great eruptions of fire and possessed a multitude of the precious stones which the Greeks call anthrax, sardion, and smaragdos; and after this they subdued many of the neighbouring Libyans and nomad tribes, and founded within the marsh Tritonis a great city which they named Kherronesos (Chersonese) (Peninsular) after its shape.Setting out from the city of Kherronesos, the account continues, the Amazones embarked upon great ventures, a longing having come over them to invade many parts of the inhabited world.
The first people against whom they advanced, according to the tale, was the Atlantioi (Atlanteans), the most civilized men among the inhabitants of those regions, who dwelt in a prosperous country and possessed great cities; it was among them, we are told, that mythology places the birth of the gods, in the regions which lie along the shore of Okeanos, in this respect agreeing with those among the Greeks who relate legends, and about this we shall speak in detail a little later.Now the queen of the Amazones, Myrina, collected, it is said, an army of thirty thousand foot-soldiers and three thousand cavalry, since they favoured to an unusual degree the use of cavalry in their wars.
The unusual combination of myths and legends is an Hellenistic Greek attempt to rationalize a variety of stories and present them as true history.]
"[Diodorus briefly discusses sources for the ancient Greek histories of Egypt, sub-Saharan Africa, Libya and the Atlas region--the last three are all referred to as Aithiopia (Ethiopia) :] Concerning the historians, we must distinguish among them, to the effect that many have composed works on both Aigyptos (Egypt) and Aithiopia (Ethiopia), of whom some have given credence to false report and others have invented many tales out of their own minds for the delectation of their readers, and so may justly be distrusted." [N.B.
Aithiopia is the ancient Greek term for the whole of Africa, not just the land of Ethiopia.]
Le Flem discovers new hidden evidence of Atlantis’ lost civilization
Plato’s story, passed down through Egyptian priests and recorded by the Greek lawmaker Solon, depicts Atlantis as a powerful civilization that fell into decline after misusing its technological power.
Timaeus & Critias
And the name of his younger twin-brother, who had for his portion the extremity of the island near the pillars of Herakles up to the part of the country now called Gadeira after the name of that region, was Eumelos in Greek, but in the native tongue Gadeiros,--which fact may have given its title to the country.
From these, as Plato says, he heard the story of the lost Atlantis, and tried to introduce it in a poetical form to the Greeks."
The Oera Linda Book
48 that they were not entirely Greek letters.
Cæsar thus points out only a resemblance—and a very true one—as the writing, which does not altogether correspond with any known form of letters, resembles the most, on a cursory view, the Greek writing, such as is found on monuments and the oldest manuscripts, and belongs to the form which is called lapidary.
By the Arabians this art was brought to the Greeks.
It is asserted that Greek manuscripts of the tenth century written upon cotton paper exist, and that in the thirteenth century it was much more used than parchment.
The Greeks know and acknowledge that their writing was not their own invention.
Whence, then, have the Greeks derived the form of their letters?
Also, from the accounts written on the walls of Waraburch, that the Finns likewise had a writing of their own—a very troublesome and difficult one to read—and that, therefore, the Tyrians and the Greeks had learned the writing of Frya.
By this representation the whole thing explains itself, and it becomes clear whence comes the exterior [x]resemblance between the Greek and the old Fries writing, which Cæsar also remarked among the Gauls; as likewise in what manner the Greeks acquired and retained the names of the Finn and the forms of the Fries writing.
This disappearance of the old land (âldland, âtland) was known by the Greeks, for Plato mentions in his “Timæus,” 24, the disappearance of Atlantis, the position of which was only known as somewhere far beyond the Pillars of Hercules.
The Geertmen were known by only one of the Greek writers, Strabo, who mentions them as Γερμᾶνες, differing totally and entirely from the Βραχμᾶνες in manners, language, and religion.
Strabo alone of all the Greek writers relates that Nearchus, after he had landed his troops in the Persian Gulf, at the mouth of the Pasitigris, sailed out of the Persian Gulf by Alexander’s command, and steered round Arabia through the Arabian Gulf.
Although a great portion of the first part of the work—the book of Adela—belongs to the mythological period before the Trojan war, there is a striking difference between it and the Greek myths.
“Les Mythes ne se tiennent pas,” is the only key to the Greek Mythology.
As, for instance, the arrival and sojourn of Ulysses with the [xviii]Burgtmaagd Kalip at Walhallagara (Walcheren), which is the most mythical portion of all, is here said to be 1005 years after the disappearance of Atland, which coincides with 1188 years before Christ, and thus agrees very nearly with the time at which the Greeks say the Trojan war took place.
If we find among the Frisians a belief in a Godhead [xx]and ideas of religion entirely different from the Mythology of other nations, we are the more surprised to find in some points the closest connection with the Greek and Roman Mythology, and even with the origin of two deities of the highest rank, Min-erva and Neptune.
In the Greek Mythology all the gods and goddesses have a youthful period.
Min-erva appears in Attica as high priestess from a foreign country, a country unknown to the Greeks.
Pallas gives to the new town her own name, Athènai, which has no meaning in Greek.
And does not the greatest portion of Homer’s vocabulary exist in the Greek of our day?
The mother answered, If the distant Greeks belong to the direct descent of Frya, then they will flourish; but if they do not descend from Frya, then there will be a long contention about it, because the carrier must make five thousand revolutions of his Juul before Finda’s people will be ripe for liberty.
They were from Troy, a town that the Greeks had taken.
From the other Greeks you will have heard a great deal of bad about Cecrops, because he was not in good repute; but I dare affirm that he was an enlightened man; very renowned both among the inhabitants and among us, for he was against oppression, unlike the other priests, and was virtuous, and knew how to value the wisdom of distant nations.
After him came a grey-headed man, who said we come from [165]the distant Greek land to preserve our customs.
Upon the new ships which had been saved from the fire he embarked the Joniers and the Greeks.
These two had only one object in view, as they told us—to help the royal race, and to restore freedom to all the Greek lands.
That comes from their intercourse with the real Greeks, Friso said.
Those who descend from the Greeks speak a bad language, and have not much to boast of in their manners.
He laughed at our mode of defending our land and our sea-fights; therefore he established a school where the boys might learn to fight in the Greek manner, but I believe that he did it to attach the young people to himself.
Troy is the name of a town that the far Krekalanders (Greeks) had taken and destroyed.
Andromeadans 6th. Atlantis was a Gift/Earth from Andromeda
This ancient Atlantis predates the more well-known Atlantis described by the Greek philosopher Plato.
