Re: Semitic influences in Greek Mythology

No coincidence, I think.

All ancient peoples were avid for new tales of gods and adventure.

No TV those days.

So it appears to me that you have identified a very concrete example of the
practice of borrowing stories and sometimes not altering the names in the
original story by much.

Take a look at these analogies... coincidences?

Daughters of Baal, the Storm-God : Pdry, T.ly, Ars.y
Daughters of Kekrops: Pandrosos, Aglauro: and Herse:.

Herse/ Ars.y , Pdry/Pandrosos (<*Padrosos ?), T.ly/ AGlauro: (<*Adl- ?, cf.
Thalia, too)
