	Greek Mythology: IAPETUS IAPETOS Titan God of Mortality, Ancestor of Man ( Japetus )
		IAPETOS was the Titan god (perhaps) of the mortal life-span who assigned to the generations of mortal creatures their finite lot.
		The sons of Iapetos were described as possessing the worst of human traits: on the intellectual level, Prometheus is overly sly and crafty, Epimetheus a guileless fool, Atlas overly daring, and arrogant Menoitios prone to rash and violent outbursts.
		Iapetos was regarded as the Titan ancestor of man, a race which inherited the worst qualities of his four sons: crafty scheming, foolish stupidity, excessive daring, and rash violence.

	Theogony - The Mind-N-Magick Paganpedia
		In formal terms it is a hymn invoking Zeus and the Muses: parallel passages between it and the much shorter Homeric Hymn to the Muses make it clear that the Theogony developed out of a tradition of hymnic preludes with which ancient Greek rhapsodes would begin their performance at poetic competitions.
		It is believed that Greek mythologies may have been influenced by Near Eastern Theogonies, the two most frequently cited examples of which are Akkadian-Babylonian creation epic, the "Enuma Elish," and the Hurrian-Hittite "Kingship in Heaven" (with a sequel, the "Song of Ullikummi").
		Iapetos marries Klymene (an Okeanid Nymph) to sire Atlas, Menoitios, Prometheus, and Epimetheus.

		If my assertion is correct -that Genesis has preserved a Greek myth about the Medes' descent from Iapetos- then biblical scholars will have to reassess their views that there are no Greek concepts underlying Genesis' account of the nations of the world and their origins.

		But the noble son of Iapetos [Prometheos] outwitted him and stole the far-seen gleam of unwearying fire in a hollow fennel stalk.
		And as for the man who chooses the lot of marriage and takes a good wife suited to his mind, evil continually contends with good; for whoever happens to have mischievous children, lives always with unceasing grief in his spirit and heart within him; and this evil cannot be healed.
		So it is not possible to deceive or go beyond the will of Zeus: for not even the son of Iapetos, kindly Prometheus, escaped his heavy anger, but of necessity strong bands confined him, although he knew many a wile.

	Tarot und Astrologie: Olympic Tarot (5) - Hesiod's "failures"
		Iapetos was by semitic mythology a father of mankind as one of the 3 sons of Noah, then known as Japhed to the biblical texts.
		Greek mythology integrated this semitic approach to explain the world, but - as usual - they perrceived themselves as having the better concept of th gods, they had to degrade this foreign import.
		In the system this means, that Iapetos was degraded from position 5 to position 3, as a result the figures Krios and Hyperion were raised a little bit.

	The Evolution of Divine Mythology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		This is not surprising, however, as what we "currently" know is not merely the product of several various oral traditions, but quite probably the product of hundreds, possibly thousands, of local myths, all of which have been compressed, merged, plagerised, and generally messed with.
		And so the mythology of Greece tells of a war between the Gods that led to the downfall of the Titans and the rise of the Olympians.
		The mythology would be suitably adjusted to explain this; a war in which the new gods overthrew the older gods appears a quite natural explaination.

		In Greek mythology, Iapetos was the father of Atlas, for whom the Atlantic Ocean was named.
		As the muddy sediments of Iapetos were buried the first thing that happened is that the sedimentary particles were pressed together tightly, and excess water was squeezed out.
		But most of the rocks of Iapetos were "buried" even more deeply, so deep, in fact, that the sedimentary rock was transformed into metamorphic rock, a term we use to mean that the form of the rock was fundamentally changed by such extreme conditions.
