Re: Yayati-Madhavi Aietes-Medeia

It could be just a coincidence, but it seems that there is a link between
Indian pair king-daughter Yayati-Madhavi and Greek Aieetes-Medeia. What do
you think?
Aieetes was a king of Aia, near Colchis, but their traits are more mythic
than geographically realistic. Maybe Greeks picked this from some Mitanni
source? Eochaid-Medb could be related too..

Connection between
yaya:ti and aie:te:s
is possible with
*(d)zayeH1t
or the like.

Now
considering the connection
with Helios as father
and the Golden Fleece.
*zah-(ab) "gold"
instead of zayeH1
looks nice.
