ys he was associated with Aphrodite there. The story of his birth involves incest, and this evokes her dark Eros cult: Cabero. In this, Adonis parallels Attis (similar terms, in fact), who was made to marry his Great Mother, and in fact Adonis is sometimes equated with Attis. Perseus, Cypselos, and Adonis were all placed in chests as infants, which seems too conspicuous to ignore, especially as Perseus saved Cassiopeia's descendants from Ceto. Plus, Cypselos (styled by the myth writer to mean "chest/capsule") was one whom I identified with Cepheus, husband of Cassiopeia. While I'll admit that my attempt to interpret the chest code, as the pyramids of Cheops' family, was a rather limited shot in the dark, I'll try to make up for it by a second theory: the chest symbol = Pandora's box. For I see a "Bant" term in her name.
I recall now that mythical Erechtheus of Athens (i.e. like "Aten") was twinned with Butes, and that I defined "Butes" as "body/bud," in the sense of a box or shell, from which the Hebrew "Bet(h)" (meaning "house") derived. Are they coincidences that the father of Erechtheus was Pandion, that Erechtheus had a son, Pandorus, and a daughter, Pandora??? Moreover, as I tied the Edones to the Hephaestus-Cabero partnership at the Hebros delta, while identifying Cepheus as Hephaestus at Memphis and nearby Giza, is it another coincidence that the father of Erechtheus was made Hephaestus?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erechtheus
I recall having Memphis founded by Mamre's Amorite family of the Hebron region, and this, where an Edone-Amorite equation is acknowledged, squares with Aphrodite Edones founding Memphis (I see Edones integral to Aphrodite whereas they may only be circumstantial to Hephaestus). I can then anticipate that Hebron was of the Aphrodite cult that named the Hebros river...but not before she became Kyprus at Cyprus. None of this is contradictory to the accepted idea that king Menes of Tanis founded Memphis, for the building of Tanis is tied to the building of Hebron
Hephaestus also had something central to do with the other Pandora, the so-called "first woman" and her box:"Zeus ordered Hephaestus to create her as part of the punishment of mankind." This squares with Biblical Eve, and with my Bant-term connection to Avvites, for I had reasoned that the Avvite term was created in honor of Eve. It's interesting that Pandora had another name, "Nesidora," for it evokes Dionysus and/or the Hittite city of Nesi.

From these details, one can fathom that the early-Yervand Armenians had gone, as the Hephaestus-Hatti, to rule Athens. They were the Cecrops line, for Erechtheus was of that line, and so the serpent tail that Cecrops was depicted with must pertain to the dragon cult that was the proto-Yervand dynasty. The Pand terms (above) that were made descendants of the Cecrops line must equate with the Corybantes proto-Trojans, for indeed the patriarch of the Trojans became inter-married with that very Pand-portion of the Cecrops line.
The following statement tends to suggest that Trojans came forth from the Yervand bloodline in the Phoenician Levant: "According to Apollodorus, it was during Pandion I's reign that the gods Demeter and Dionysus came to Attica."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandion_I
I couldn't have asked for a miracle to play better into this picture than that concise statement. As Pandion was of a very early time, I would identify Demeter here, not as the D'mt of Punt, but more-certainly as the core Dumuzi=Adoni cult in the Phoenician Levant. I would identify Dionysus, not as the Samaali of Punt returned to Phoenicia, but whatever peoples Semele depicted in the Levant prior to that return. The fox snout points to Timnah. Demeter can then be identified as a Samas/Shamash term (very close to the Biblical "Tammuz" variation of Dumuzi), and from that conclusion we could identify the Demeter wave to Athens as the Samson side of the Samson-Timnah alliance. Do you read? This alliance came to rule Athens...but is to be distinguished from Cecrops, as a peoples becoming meshed with Cecrops.
Yes, after mixing in pre-Israel with the Yervand dragon, Dionysus and Demeter arrived to Athens/Attica to be the Cecrops > Corybantes bloodline. Apparently, Apollodorus' statement, wherein Demeter and Dionysus arrive in the reign of Pandion (which never happened because there was never such a man), serves only to reveal that the Yervand bloodline was one and the same as the Pandion term, implying that Apollodorus knew this.
As I traced Abas Abantians to Cepheus, and then identified him as the Cephissus river, see now that Erechtheus, son of Pandion, married the granddaughter of mythical Cephissus (depicting the river of that name at Athens). If this doesn't reveal that the Abas Abantians who went to rule Ethiopia were just from this Cecrops-Erechtheus alliance, I'll eat my beehive.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephissus_(Athenian_plain)
Now behold the confusion between Erechtheus and Erichthonius, where the two are sometimes equated and sometimes not quite. It becomes apparent just now that Erichthonius was entered into the Cecrops myth script (just prior to Pandion and Erechtheus) to depict, and to include some details about, the Demeter-Dionysus mix entering as outsiders into the Cecrops line. Not only was Erichthonius said to be an adopted son of Cecrops (i.e. not from Cecrops ancestry), but Athena "placed [Erichthonius] in a small box" when he was an infant! This story assures us that the box symbolism is that of Pandora's, representing the troubles of mankind stemming from this dragon cult = Yervand bloodline.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erichthonius_of_Athens
It was in this box into which Erichthonius was placed that he was discovered having a serpentine tail. The father of Erichthonius was made Hephaestus, and as Perseus the Danaan was also placed into a chest as an infant, the Danaans may have been Edones. I must admit, it seems conspicuous that, of the Israelite tribe of Dan, the Bible says: "Dan will be a serpent on the path" (Genesis 49:17). Withholding comment for now, I'll go on to say that there is now some chest-reason to equate Cypselos with Cepheus = the Cephissos river. It's interesting that, in 657 BC, an historical "Cypselos seized power from the Bacciads," for they evoke the Bacchus term.

Bacchus brings me round to Bashan, anciently Batanaea. It boggles my mind to have come to this Dionysus connection to Erichthonius after I had postulated a Batanaea-Batea equation, for Erichthonius was made the son of Batea! You have heard that animals have instinct, and that God has programmed their genes to create that instinct; I sometimes feel that I have been programmed to write this story; things like this never cease to amaze me. I almost died at birth, and so I can only conclude that God said, "No. wait, I've got a better idea. Load this floppy into his neck and call it Myth-Buster. Then let him live." I sometimes think something along these lines, on a serious level.
Remember, Trachone was on the border of Batanaea, while Troy is the result of Erichthonius' brother, Ilus (also a son of Batea), who is made to give birth to Tros. It could then be that the "(Cory)bantes" term is a modification of "Batan," and if so it would stem, not from Dardanus (Batea's husband), but from Batea. As Teucer was Batea's father, Batea should be viewed as a Togarmite-Aryan peoples, which aligns with Bashan being the land of Aryan giants.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dardanus
Dardanus and Batea are located by myth in the Lydian theater, but this was not Lotan>Lydia, for the latter came later, perhaps as the Ethiopian wave in the time of mythical Memnon. Details later. It is interesting that, in Georgia, the Bats and the Laz lived very near to each other, if not among each other.
This would be a super place to mention Hesse-Cassel in Germany, for "Hesse " is said to be a variation of "Catti." Cassiopeia is definitely evoked by these terms, but, now, I re-mention a tribe of the Catti, the Batavians, who have been part of my instincts (i.e. no real evidence for it) for quite some time as a stem of mythical Butes from Athens!! None of this chapter or the preceding ones, on the Hatti/Cati/Khassi topic, were written with making Cassiopeia connection to Butes or Batavians. The pieces are just happening to fall into place because...I am Programmed. I say that lightly.
There must be a reason that Erechtheus was given Butes as a twin, and while it's obvious that he was the entry of Batea into the Cecrops line, a trace of Butes back to Bacchus elements is perhaps justified where Butes was defined as a bull cult, for "Bacchus" may have meant "vacca" = bull, even as "Tyrus" evokes a bull cult. This should explain why Butes was made the son of Pandion and Zeuxippe (ignore the "ippe" suffix), for Zeus was the bull cult in Dagon-infested regions of the Levant. To prove Butes associations with Bacchus, another Butes (same peoples) became allied with a Bacchus tribe, for Butes was "Son of Boreas. He stole one of the bacchae of Dionysus..." Her name was Coronis.
There was yet another mythical Butes that sheds more light, and in fact supports my trace of Butes to the island of Bute, Scotland, which island was earlier Rothesay and therefore Avalon: "Aphrodite's lover and a Sicilian king. He was the father of Eryx by Aphrodite." This Butes could only be Eros, son of Aphrodite, in Sicily. That is, Greek Butes was the Rus bloodline of Eros, but removed to Sicily. Eryx was himself made a "renowned boxer," which then identifies him as some portion of the boxer, mythical Pollux = Puglia (south-eastern Italy).
The Crotons are pegged, for Milo of Croton was also depicted as a boxer, and as the Crotons evoke the Cretans, it fits with my previous identification with Erichthonius as the Cruithin of Ireland/Scotland, whom I traced back to the Curetes of Crete...known to have been a tribe with the Corybantes. Moreover, I identified the Cruithin as the ancestors of the Crichton surname, which name did in fact become meshed with the Stewart rulers on Bute! Having Eros as a part of Bute-island ancestry aligns with the identification of the Avalon inhabitants as Muses, for Eros and the Muses were essentially one. I can now add to this picture an Edone ancestry, since I have since discovered that Aphrodite was such.
As this Avalon wave had to incorporate Apollo, while Butes was not from Apollo (i.e. from the far north), but from Bashan, note that Buto, an Egyptian goddess at Letopolis near Memphis, was equated by the Greeks with Leto, mother of Apollo, suggesting a Butes-Apollo mix at some point and place.
http://www.ancientlibrary.com/smith-bio/0528.html
It becomes apparent to me that Butes of Athens (depicting a Butadae peoples), because he was called the Erechtheian Poseidon, was quite one with Poseidon, which is made all the more interesting in that Butes was associated, if not equated with, a certain Buzyges. This is evidence for my Buzi root of Poseidon. To support my hunch that Poseidon was founded in Buz, son of Nahor (Biblical "Nachor"), we find that this Butes "went with a band of colonists to the island of Strongyle, afterwards called Naxos." While Naxos was the sacred island of Poseidon, I have also started to view it as a "Nachor" code. My problem is, which may become a key revelation somehow, is that this picture paints Bashan as Poseidon.
http://www.goddess-athena.org/Athenaeum/Psychology/Athena/Butes_a_hero_of_Athena.htm
Now behold. I kid you not that I came to this as I wrote the question above, for as I was wondering how else to prove that Nahor was in Bashan, by finding evidence of another son or two there, I remembered Kemuel (Genesis 22:21), his son after Buz, and rolling that term around in my mouth, as is my habit, I spit out "Semele." What do you think?? Could it be? Could Dionysus Kassites have come to form alliances with Nahorites? Are the Somalians the Nahor-Hebrew element of that African region? Remember Nairobi. Does it explain the Budini-Neuri alliance?
Kemuel was the father of Aram, and this causes me pause, for as it's known that Aram of the Arameans was the son of Elam, the Aram from Nahor could have been the proto-Armenians...and the Azzi could then have been named after Nahor's fifth son, Hazo. Could Azer-Baijan have been an Azzi-Biaini realm that saw Dionysus move there from Nuzi? This is all the more intriguing as I had previously identified Kemuel as the root of Camelot and the Camel/Gamel peoples of that place.
To explain how the Dionysus-Mitanni cult got to Messenia by this Cecrops picture, we find that "Pandion [II] fled to Megara where he married Pylia, daughter of King Pylas. Later, Pylas went into voluntary exile to Messenia." Remember, these are not true characters, but rather this was a myth writers way of making a royal Athens-to-Pylos connection, which he knew to be a reality. We then find that one of Pandion's sons by Pylia was Nisus, king of Megara. I think Megara ties into the Butes code by mythical Buzas of Megara, code for Byzantium. Can it be a coincidence that Buzas (or "Byzas") was the son of king Nisou? No, but Buzas was of the Pandion line (i.e. the same as the Nisos code), thus supporting a Buzas/Butes equation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandion_II
To explain how the Dionysus line then jumps from Messenia to the Italian dragon, the Trojan line issuing forth from Batea produces the Roman Trojans as per mythical Aeneas, whose code appears to be a version of Oeneus, the wine king of Greece who had himself issued from Dionysus.
Aeneas is then made to marry into the Latinus bloodline, and this marriage leads to the Romans. The reality must be that the Dionysus peoples in Greece led to the Etruscans and the Latins, the Etruscans (i.e. Tyrrhenus) in the first Tyre > Trojan wave, and the Latins in the second wave Lotan > Lydia wave.
There's another chapter in the works on this same topic, to be located after this one soon. The chapter below was written about 6 months before this one.
