 Chapter 3:Domestication Of Animals
Erichthonius king of Dardania and heir to the Trojan line of royalty, is described as a wealthy horsebreeder.
There seems to be some connection between his name and Erechtheus, the ancient legendary king of Athens, who was the grandson of Erichthonios, and so we are presumably dealing with influences which took place through migration, conquest or cultural influence from east to west.
When we consider these two personal royal names, Erechtheus and Erichthonius, we should be aware of the existence of the ancient Sumerian city called in Biblical texts Erech, in the Babylonian inscriptions Uruk, and in later Greek references Orchoe.
