Sardus' father was Maceris, who was called Egyptian Heracles or Phoenician Heracles.
2 Life
Sardus emigrated from Canopus of Egypt to the island of Ichnussa (later Sardinia) on the west side of the Italian peninsula.
The island came to be called Sardinia after Sardus' name.
There is a "Temple of Father Sardus" in the southwest of Sardinia, and it is assumed that Sardus emigrated to the area around there.
Later, near the settlement of Sardus, Nora (near Cape Pula) was founded, the oldest town on the island. It was founded by Norax, son of Erytheia, a descendant of Sardus.

Telamon, son of Aeacus, married Glauce, daughter of Cychreus, king of the Salaminians.
Cychreus' mother was Salamis.
Telamon's mother Endeis was the daughter of Scyrius, king of the Salaminians.
Glauce's father, Cychreus, was the son of Scyrius, and it is assumed that Scyrius also had a wife named Salamis.

Anius, son of Zarex, son of Petraeus, son of Carystus, was a priest of Delos.

3 Others
3.1 Sea God
In Aegeus' time, the Salaminians had much better sailing skills than the Athenians.
The Salaminians were a sea people, and Scyrius of Salamis is presumed to have been called the "sea god" or "old man of the sea."
3.2 Godfather
Aegeus, the father of Theseus, had a territory in Scyros, so Aegeus' father Scyrius is thought to have been the godfather of Scyros.
Scyrius also gave an ancient name to Salamis.
Scyrius also gave names to the sanctuary of Athena Sciras in the port of Phalerum, the moon Scirophorion, and other places.
3.3 Father of Scyrius
Aegeus, the son of Scyrius, was adopted by Pandion, the eighth king of Athens.
Pandion had many sons, but his adopted son Aegeus succeeded him as the ninth king of Athens.
It is believed that Aegeus became king of Athens because his biological father, Scyrius, was the son of Cecrops, the seventh king of Athens.
3.4 Brief History
In 1320 BC, Cecrops, son of Erechtheus, emigrated to Euboea.
The reason for Cecrops' migration is thought to be a dispute with his brother Metion.
At this time, Cecrops' sons Pandion, Cychreus, and Scyrius also emigrated to various places.
Pandion emigrated to Megara.
Cychreus emigrated to an island near Megara, which became known as Cychreia (later Salamis).
Scyrius emigrated to an island north of Euboea, which became known as Scyros.
In 1295 BC, Cychreus died, and Scyrius emigrated from Scyros to Cychreia to succeed him.

Phrixus moved to Colchis on the eastern coast of the Black Sea with Aeetes, father of his wife Chalciope. [Paus.2.3.10, estimated from Paus.9.34.8]
Aeetes, the son of Sisyphus, ruled Ephyra (later Corinth). [Paus.2.3.10]

When Cytissorus, the son of Chalciope (or Iophossa, Euenia), the daughter of Aeetes, the son of Sisyphus, married Sinope, the ruler of Aegialeia was Epopeus, the son of Aloeus, the son of Aeetes. [Paus.2.3.10]
