According to Porphyry some of the Greek and Phoenician gods were one and the same.
Saturn, Kronos and El were all the same person, a Cretan king who ruled over the whole of Italy, Greece, Phoenicia and Palestine and who had dominion over Egypt in 1700 BC. The evidence also shows that Jehovah his son was the Egyptian Pharaoh Meruserenre Yakubher with reigne in 1673 BC.
In 1674 BC after a 10 year long war the Cretan King Saasitepis or Lato known to the Achaean Greeks as Zeus-Deus, conquered Knossos and deposed its king Satur who the Achaeans called Cronos and who ruled Egypt under the title of Timaus or Dudimose.
Saasitepis (Zeus) then proceeded to invade Egypt and ruled under the titles of Sheshi, Salatis and Shalik which are extant in Egyptian Inscriptions and in Manetho.
Epaphus was the son of Zeus and Io, the daughter of Inachus. Epaphus, Apopis, or Apepi I, ruled from 1645 until 1627 according to Manetho when he was murdered by his fathers first wife. This coincided with the The Eruption.
Consequently Apis the son of Phoroneus son of Inachus attacked Egypt and seized the throne, as well as the entire Peloponnese and Crete where inceptions name him as Saapis. The Hellenistic Greek know hims as Sarapis under whcih titile the Egyptians worshiped him. He was also known to them as Epaphus II, Apopis, or Apepi II. Herodotus say that Apis was the Egyptian rendering of the Greek name Epaphus.
Apis was expelled from the Peloponnese and Sicyon by Thelxion and Telchis in about 1606 BC but continued to ruled in Egypt untill 1596 BC. During his reign he established a tyrannical government and called the Peloponnesus after his own name Apia.
Libya the daughter of Epaphus I subsequently married Yakhuber the king of Sidon known to the Greeks as the Father of Sidon or Poseidon (inscriptions bearing this name are extant from 1250 BC), who was also know as Janins.
Janins or Yakubher is Greek named after the eponymous ancestor of the Ionian Greeks Ion or Iounon, who were the Akki-Yahua or Akki-Ekwash in Hittite inscriptions, also called Yunni, or Yahunim.
Their son Agenor or Khamudy Aasehre rulled as Ahmoses or Assis untill 1571 BC when his brother Belus or Amenhotep I expelled the Achaeans from Egypt who the Egyptians named Hyksos from a corruption of the Greek name Akhaiwoi.
Agenor was a king of Phoenicia as well as a Greek king.
So you see how much of Phoenician mythology is really Greek.
Janins is the name of the eponymous ancestor of the Ionian Greeks, also called Yunni, Yahunim and Yahua.
There is also Khamudy which is Cadmus, and an Aaqenenre which is Agenor the father of Cadmus. There is Apachnas which is Epaphus.
This Hyksos or foreign rule over Egypt accounts for the entire Greek account of the abduction of Io by Zeus, the rule of her son Epaphus and his cousin Sarapis after him and then the rule of Agenor.
