Caphtorim

They were a branch of Helios Titans who abducted women from Iapetus such as Helen. Under by Senakhtenre Tao I (Telegonus) they destroyed the Io-Pelasts. They became the Capitoline Romans and Tuatha Dardanian Picts of Aeneas.

See Deuteronomy 2:23, Amos 9:7. It is identified as an island, Jeremiah 47:4. From the context, it appears to be an island on the Nile Delta. Saadia Gaon identifies Caphtor with Damyat or Shafchu, to the west of Port Sa'id (Cf. Masa'oth Rabbi Binyamin 24). However, the Septuagint, and the Targum (Yonathan) translate it as Cappadocia, Kaputkai or Kapudka. This was an area south of the Black Sea (see note on Genesis 10:2 regarding Meshekh). Although this might not seem to be a possible explanation, since from the context, these were a people originating in Egypt, it is known that Colchis was an Egyptian colony. However,

According to the Midrash, the Caphtorim were dark pygmy metallurgists (from alliance with the highly skilled Kenites), and were descendants of the Pathrusim and the Casluchim (Bereshith Rabbah 37). Thus there is a strong connection with Vulcan of Greek myth. Accordingly, this verse should be, 'and the Pathrusim and Casluchim, from whom there descended the Philistines and Caphtorim.' Although originally sharing the Mediterranean with their Philistine relatives, Caphtorim were not happy about the Philistine's eventual corruption under alliance with Nimrod and it is said that they destroyed the Awite Philistines allied to Anak-Nimrod before the Israelites left the desert.
