DARDANOS (Δάρδανος). Greek
name meaning "a Trojan."
(A Copious and Critical English-Latin Lexicon, Riddle-Kerchever,
1856). The Latin form is Dardanus.
The name is of Phoenician or Karian origin, strongly connected with Darius, Dorus,
and the Dorians. It is used in a plural sense to denote Trojan
women.
Dardanos, a son of Zeus, lived
in the island of Samothrace with his brother Iasion, who was struck dead
by a thunderbolt for a shameful crime, while Dardanos, in grief, left
his home and established a new one on the Asiatic mainland near the
mouth of the Hellespont. Finding favour with Teukros, the king of
the land, he was given a tract in which he built a city called after
himself, and later he inherited the sovereignty and changed the name of
the entire country to Dardania. (The Mythology of All Races, Moore,
1916)
