        Fwiw, Guinevere said to be daughter of a giant (Ogrfan), making her a descendant of these Syrian sisters if viewed via the Brut tradition :)

        though, as I am sure you know, Monmouth is hardly the most rigorous historian! :-) (a nice story though)

        I distrust modern DNA evidence as anything but the broadest guide, but ancient DNA might be intriguing...

        (the narrative itself is legendary, of course, but def evidence that might suggest real people from Syria visited Britain)
