Ionians

The Kings of Atlantis become the Gods of the Greeks

Europe than prevailed there during the Ionian or Hellenic period."

The Aryan and Japhetic Colonies

We come now to another question: “Did the Aryan or Japhetic race come from Atlantis?” If the Aryans are the Japhetic race, and if Japheth was one of the sons of the patriarch who escaped from the Deluge, then assuredly, if the tradition of Genesis be true, the Aryans came from the drowned land, to wit, Atlantis. According to Genesis, the descendants of the Japheth who escaped out of the Flood with Noah are the Ionians, the inhabitants of the Morea, the dwellers on the Cilician coast of Asia Minor, the Cyprians, the Dodoneans of Macedonia, the Iberians, and the Thracians. These are all now recognized as Aryans, except the Iberians.

Biblical References: Genesis is cited as identifying the descendants of Japheth as various groups in the Mediterranean and Asia Minor, including the Ionians, inhabitants of the Morea (Peloponnesus), people from Cilicia, Cyprus, Macedonia (Dodoneans), Iberians, and Thracians.
