No, they arent, and the stories you cite are from different centuries. Atlas did not father any human children but did father demigods... and the Greeks were already there when he did so (he used human women.)

Deucalon has a wife, and this is the only "flood" story in the mythos.

Io does not give birth to any of the founders of the Greek nation. Prometheus is said to be the father of the Greek nation, since he created them out of clay.

Not a match with any of the stories you mention.

Is there evidence that they physically visited there? I've never visited Giza, but I can tell you what it looks like.

Pythagoras was developing math. He was a research scientist in math. The Greeks loved math, but there's no evidence that the Egyptians found it as fascinating.

A common end to those tales in that culture. Like "Amen."


> Aeolus is Atlas.
Aeolus is a wind god. Atlas is a Titan. The attributes aren't even close.

Prometheus -> Deucalion ->

Deucalon never gets tied up as punishment and has an eagle come and peck his liver out eery day.

> Hellen -> Aeolus.
Helen was simply beautiful and a political pawn. They'd have gone after any kidnapped king's wife. AEolus is a male god of the wind, and did not rule the seas. It was Poseidon they sacrificed to, and Athena, to help get her back.

No. He was the god of the ocean and horses.

Her name means "red" and was used to mean "red-haired" (see incident where Apollo disguises himself as a red-haired girl and calls himself Pyrrha. The name of the bush "pyracantha" comes from the same source.)

According to the only story where they were mentioned, they are the bad guys. And the conquered most of the world.

Zeus's wife is Hera. Io is some bouncy little teen that Zeus had a one-night stand with.

Actually, they did a dandy job in preserving them in plays and in song and in sculpture.
