.@caitlinrgreen The origin of the name is mysterious; it is mentioned in Quran 2 times in short verses; any information else is w/out bases.
.@caitlinrgreen How old is the name (Idris) in Wales? What is the oldest accurate record?
@Archatgs Idris (Iudris) ap Gwyddno died 632 according to the Annales Cambriae, for what it's worth...
.@caitlinrgreen Is there any record for Phonetician presence in Wales, or contacts between Phoenician & Welsh people??
@Archatgs only the few bits of arch I've mentioned in blog posts, I think---legends involving Trojans etc, of course!
.@caitlinrgreen Trojans; it means some Roman influence, I think.
.@caitlinrgreen Herodotus wrote about Trojans in Cyrenaica, so the story of Troy could easily reach Phoenicians from many sources.
.@caitlinrgreen The communications in the ancient world were so tangled; so it's hard to follow the origin of most of ancient myths.
