Etymology

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]

In liddel scott its to "tear apart,devour,torture,consume" and some varieties but i has another meaning as well the to burn up .Megistias (talk) 12:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed references to biblical POV. This is an ancient Greek myth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.244.44 (talk) 04:21, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"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."
