Etymology

[edit]

The verb δαρδάπτω (dardapto) means "to devour", see: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3D%2323466. So how can that make Dardanus meaning "burned up"? Is there a source on that etymology? Helladios 06:42, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited text

[edit]

"Dardanus became the founder of Troy and the ancestor of Priam and his house.[citation needed] Dardanus is the namesake of the strait between the Sea of Marmara and the Aegean Sea known as the Dardanelles." This text has been removed from Electra (Pleiad); it could be relevant here if reliable sources are cited.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 19:03, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
