The podcast episode explores the connection between Japheth, a biblical figure, and Iapetus, a Titan in Greek mythology. While Japheth's etymology and onomastic environment cannot be established, Professor Richard Hess suggests that Japheth derives from Greek traditions about Iapetus. Iapetus is associated with mortality and the limits of life, and he is the father of Atlas and Prometheus. Scholars have long been intrigued by the similarity of the names Japheth and Iapetos, and some have associated Japheth's descendants with Greek nations. The episode delves into the relationship between the sons of God and the daughters of men, and the theory that the sons of God are the sons of Chronos and the daughters of men are the daughters of Iapetus. The episode concludes by exploring the basic story of Noah's sons and the theory that Ham assaulted Noah's wife to produce Canaan.
