During classical greek times, such as Herodotus taught that the original Greeks were born of the earth (autochthons), for instance the founders of Athens, legendary Cecrops (it was first named Cecropia) and Erechtheus, whom though Plato later wrote lived in the days that Atlantis and much of Greece were consumed by the sea, this discrepancy (there were eight centuries of Greeks and Pelasgians before Cecrops and Erechtheus) obviously ignored by Herodotus, and not corrected by Plato, who additionally wrote that Atlantis was begun by autochthons Leucippe (meaning the light bearer) and Evenor, whom with genders reversed sound like Lucifer the ostensible light bearer and Eve in the Garden, the biblical story of origins bastardized then glommed onto a loose history.
