There are good reasons to believe that Greek Mythology is an embellished version of real history. The so-called 'gods' were just ordinary men and women whose deeds have been exaggerated so that they could be made into gods. I will go into this argument in detail in my forthcoming new book, but basically they are as follows:
Ouranos and Gaia represent Noah and his wife.
Titan, Kronus and Iapetus are Shem, Ham and Japheth. This is evident from a Chaldean fragment (1) which says "After the Flood, Titan and Prometheus lived, and Titan undertook a war against Kronus". Prometheus (not shown in the diagram), is a son of Iapetus in Greek mythology, and he appears in the Chaldean fragment in place of his father. Kronusmust be Ham, because he appears in the Egyptian king list of Manetho (2) amongthe demi-gods that precede the first dynasty. This leaves only Shem to be accounted for, and he is given the name Titan which is a collective name for all thechildren of Ouranos and Gaia.
Kronus achieves notoriety by castrating his father Uranus, an exaggerated version of the story about Ham seeing his father naked in his tent.
By comparison of the Greek and Egyptian mythologies, it is possible to show that the Greek Zeus is the Egyptian Osyris, and since he is a sonof Ham, he must be Mizraim
This is the traditional descent of the British Monarch's from Biblicalsources
as recorded in the Anglo Saxon chronicles, whichshow Bedwig asbeing Sam's
son. The Icelandic Prose Edda shows a much more credible historywhich shows
descent from the Kings of Troy. I therefore go with the Prose Edda,but
both are oral histories.

[Note: The Old Testament does not include Cainan in this genealogy. The
lineage skips from Sala to Arphaxad. Cainan, as a child of Arphaxad, and the
father of Sala, is found only in the New Testament.]"
