Res: [tied] Semitic influences in Greek Mythology

Pandrosos means "all-dew", but I think this name could be a re-shaping of a non-Greek compound. Perhaps cognate of Pandora, Phaidra, Pandeia. A concept of a trio of daughters subordinated to Ba'al seems to be vaguely similar to Ho:rai, Kharites and another Greek triads. Even Aglauro: was sometimes called Agraulo: under influence of agros "field".
Linking Nahar to Ne:reus allows an assumption that perhaps the original aquatic brother of Zeus was him instead of Poseidon.
The rapture of Persephone by Hell King Hades could be a patriarchal invertion of the original myth of Hell Queen catching his lover, like Tammuz by Ereshkigal. There was a collision of three different concepts of Hell deities: The Hell Queen of Sumerian-Akkadian sphere; the monsterly Môtu of West Semites; and the First Man to Die of Indo-Europeans (Manu, Yama, Yima, Minos?).

So, are you saing Thalia is a popular etymology?
BTW: what is the -drosos part of Pandrosos "all ?"
Does Aglauro have a meaning in Greek?
