[This page was revised significantly on 02.03.04 when information was added and part of the previous version was put into 'Adam5'. It is not yet finished but will be worked on and added to in due course.]

Dardanus provides a connection between the Biblical stories and the ancient Greek mythologies. It would be misleading to say that he provides "the connection" because the link could probably be placed on other people and, in any case, those mythologies are reported differently according to different traditions. The versions we show appear to be widely accepted but are not universally accepted.
