The Gods of the Phœnician also Kings of Atlantis
According to Sanchoniathon, Ouranos was the son of Autochthon, and, according to Plato, Autochthon was one of the ten 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.
The Phœnician god Ouranos had a great many other wives: his wife Ge was jealous; they quarrelled, and he attempted to kill the children he had by her.
In the Phœnician mythology Chronos raised a rebellion against Ouranos, and, after a great battle, dethroned him.
Ouranos had a daughter called Astarte paragraph continues, another called Rhea.
In a time of plague be sacrificed his son to Ouranos, and "circumcised himself, and compelled his allies to do the same thing." It would thus appear that this singular rite, practised as we have seen by the Atlantidæ of the Old and New Worlds, the Egyptians, the Phœnicians, the Hebrews, the Ethiopians, the Mexicans, and the red men of America, dates back, as we might have expected, to Atlantis.
The Phoenician history
The story centers on Kronos' rebellion against his tyrannical father, Ouranos.
After Ouranos attempts to kill his children, Kronos, with Hermes' help, overthrows him, establishing his rule and founding the city of Byblos.
From these were born Terrestrial Native, subsequently called Ouranos (Heaven).
“Ouranos inherited his father’s dominion and married his sister Ge, and from her produced four children: Elos, who is also Kronos, Baetylos, Dagon, who is Grain, and Atlas.
From other wives Ouranos had numerous offspring.
Ge therefore, being angry and jealous, reproached Ouranos, and as a result, they separated from one another.
After Ouranos had left her, he would come and forcefully rape her whenever he wished and then depart again.
“When Kronos reached manhood, he punished his father Ouranos and thus avenged his mother, utilizing Hermes Trismegistos—for he was his secretary—as counselor and helper.
Then Hermes used magic spells on the allies of Kronos and instilled in them a desire to fight against Ouranos on behalf of Ge.
Thus, Kronos waged war against Ouranos expelled him from his dominion, and took up his kingdom.
Ouranos' favorite mistress, who was pregnant, was also captured in the battle and Kronos gave her in marriage to Dagon.
While with the latter, she gave birth to the child conceived by Ouranos, whom she called Demarous.
“Some time later, while Ouranos was in exile, he secretly sent his maiden daughter Astarte together with two other sisters of hers, Rhea and Dione, to kill Kronos by stealth.
When Ouranos found out, he sent Destiny, Hour, and other allies into battle against Kronos.
Also, he says, "the god Ouranos further invented baetyls, by devising stones endowed with life."
"Then Ouranos again went to battle, against Pontos.
"In the thirty-second year of his own assumption of royal authority Elos, i.e., Kronos, trapped his father Ouranos in a certain inland place.
There Ouranos was made an object of worship and he breathed his last and the blood from his genitals dripped into the springs and the rivers’ waters.
At the occurrence of a fatal plague, Kronos immolated his only son to his father Ouranos, and circumcised himself, forcing the allies who were with him to do the same.
Atlantis reconstructed
Historical references, like the story of the Atlantean king Ouranos enforcing circumcision during a plague, suggest the practice's deep roots.
