Is Fenius from Irish mythology actually Phineus from Greek mythology? They share many similarities:

Fenius Farsaid (sometimes Phenius) is a legendary sage and King of Scythia from the Lebor Gabála Érenn (The Book of Invasions). He is said to be a descendant of Magog or Gomer and played a key role in distributing languages after the biblical flood. Fenius travels from Scythia to Asia Minor, later being credited as the namesake of the Celtic Brigantes tribe.

Phineus, a figure in Greek mythology, was a prophet of Apollo and king of Thrace. He's connected to the story of the Argonauts, where his sons are rescued by Hercules and the crew.

The fascinating link? Inscriptions in Spain's Celtic regions bear the name "Clutious," which might connect the two figures.
