The story of the Hyksos was known to the Greeks, who attempted to identify it within their own mythology with the expulsion of Belus (Baal?) and the daughters of Danaos, associated with the origin of the Argive dynasty. Danaus, or Danaos ("sleeper";[citation needed] Greek Δαναός), in Greek mythology he was the twin brother of Aegyptus and son of Achiroe and Belus, a mythical king of Egypt.

The annals of the Assyrian king Esarhaddon (681-669 BCE):
"All the kingdoms from (the islands) amidst the sea from the country of Iadanan and Jaman as far as Tarshishi bowed to my feet and I received heavy tribute."
Iadanan  ("Isle of Dan") is Cyprus and Iaman is the Ionian coast of Asia Minor;
"Tarshishi" has the determinative "m" for country in front of it, as do Idanana, or Cyprus and Iaman, or Ionia.
The accepted impression is Tarshishi as described was
"a kingdom amidst the sea, apparently somewhat farther removed from Assyria than either Cyprus or Ionia."

The Assyrian inscriptions are compatible with our belief that Tarshish referred to Tartessos on the Southern Spanish coast by the straits of Gibraltar.
