Tell me, do you believe the Veneti to in fact be related to the Carni as is stated, or do you believe the legends of them having been Paphlagonian Turks which could explain region E3b and J2 highs and lower R-S28 levels? Do you believe a Greek substratum extended from Massilia to Genoa? I doubt the last suggestion as Massilia was an isolated Ionian settlment; the Ligures may have been a Celti-Etruscan cultural fusion if they were not purely celts, as they extended well into northern Italy. In terms of ancient Greeks, Nestor is the hero of those who founded Pisa and metapontum. It would seem that Motya, solus, thermae egesta, thermae himerae, Eryx, leontini, cyane Fons, Reggio Calabria, lacinium, campi Flegrei, Aventinus and the entire eastern coasts of Corsica and Sardinia were inhabited by Greeks that venerated Hercules. Although in Lilybaeum, drepanum and Aegesta the Trojan Aeneas was venerated. Misenum, Cumae, lacinium, laurentum and caieta are places were Aeneas was also worshipped. Not to mention Palinurus, Portus Veneris and Castrum Minervae in Apulia where Trojan Aeneas was venerated as well. Ulysses was worshipped in Thrinacia and Oddysseum (southern Sicily) Aetna and at various sites on the eastern Sicilian coast. The Latins, Ausones, Circe and formia regions of Italy , Avernus, sirenusae, leucosia, dracontis heroum, polite heroum, calypsus, charybdes were all places/people that worshipped Ulixes. Iason/Colchi from Georgia obviously (as are the Ionian Greeks J-M67) he was worshipped at Iunonis Argivae Fanum and at Telamon and Argous Portus (Elba island) in Etruscan territory. Also the Eridanus river near Ravenna and the Istria region worshipped Iason. The Veneti inhabited Patavium and owed their origins to Antenor. Much of the Adriatic coast from Adria to southern Marche were generators to Diomedes. The people of Venafrum, Benevento, canusium Venusia, siponto, gargano also venerated Diomedes. Sybarite/thurii, petelia, macalla, crimisa and chone was were Philoctetes was venerated. At Selinus, Minoa, haluntium, Scylla, engvium, and Camici, Minos and Daedalus were venerated, indicating Minoan Cretan origin for these particular Sicilians.
