Why did Ancient Greeks think they were descendants from Phoe

did you read your post, also greatest wewuz were romans with Aeneas legend

>>2022215
Cretans (tjekker) settled near Phoenicians at Dor during the bronze Age and later during the later iron Age Phoenicians settled in Greece and coperated with Greeks, I think Eubeans if I'm Not mistaken

>Aeneas legend
Medieval Nobles liked to claim they came from troy aswell.

>>2022224
I don't understand why they liked this claim?

Why would you want to claim descent from a civilization that is primarily known for losing and getting razed to the ground?

Those myths predate the destruction of Carthage by centuries

>>2022224

The myth is actually the Trojans came from Italy, then when Troy was destroyed Aeneas took them back.

>I don't understand why they liked this claim?

It was fated by the gods, not the fault of the Trojans themselves. The book also tries to show Aeneas embodies all the good Roman values (which makes for a boring as fuck character).

It might not be a wrong myth since urnfield Italics most likely worked as mercenaries for Myceneans and Levantine people, bringing their famous naue II sword with them

>>2022215
But they didn't think that. The Thebans specifically though that.

You need to read the Aeneid. Troy wasn't a bumfuck city destroyed by a bunch of peasants. The gods themselves fated it for destruction, it took at least a decade and had a coalition of basically every single one of the greatest heroes of the age arranged against it.

In reality it was a bumfuck city though, Mycenae was 7 times larger

How was it interesting with Aeneas having god mode and Turnus didn't?

>>2022215
They didn't want to admit they were Poo in Loo inhabitants.

>Turnus didn't?

Do you not remember the section where he gets trapped in the Trojan camp and goes on a long aristeia where he slaughters them? The ending is probably the most interesting part of the book. Aeneas' final act serves to completely change what looks otherwise like a massive dick suck of Augustus into a veiled, barbed warning about the danger of tyranny.

Right, but we knew that 2D character Aeneas was fated to win by the gods all along.

I wonder: Why is body hair never depicted?

You forgot the part in the myth when Cadmus arrived in Greece he encountered Greeks there existing, and the Thebans were created by him sowing the seed with dragon-teeth--i.e. literally being from the earth/soil (Native). Ionians also claim they were also Primordial.

Maybe they were? 1 in 17 people across the Mediterranean carry the Phoenician gene, in Lebanon a third of the population have Phoenician roots.

Honestly I don't understand why many different people seem to wewuz the Phoenicians but ignore the other Canaanites.
