They were a swarthy elfin maritime nation of mixed [[פתרסים|Petrus men]] and [[כסלחים|Casluk women]].
Jupiter '''JUPITER''' also known as Zeus Picus King of the West, a descendant of [[פתרסים|Iapetus]], was the founder of the Caphtorite Greco-Roman nation. He is more than likely identical with Deucalion whose family survived the deluge brought on by the sins of his own half [[פלשתים|Pelasgian]] son Epaphus/Apep at the time of the Israelite Exodus from Egypt. Perimede the Kaftorite daughter of Aeolus was given in marriage to [[פלשתים|Phoroneus son of Inachus]] in exchange for [[עוים|Io daughter of Inachus]] and sister to [[פלשתים|Phoroneus]].
It is certain that later descendants of Deucalion through Hellen are also identified with Zeus-Jupiter for example Minos the elder's father Asterion son of Tectamus is very clearly identified with Zeus-Jupiter under whom the Caphtorim began to subjugate the Casluk-Philistim.
