"... numerous connections have been pointed out between what is known of Elymian religion and mythology and the religion and mythology of ancient Anatolia." This kind of "association" is mystification; it transfers no information to the reader. Is this so generalized because in fact the editor doesn't know, or because the connection itself is bogus? What is known of Elymian religion and mythology? Nothing in fact. Can anyone give a condensed report on published particulars? What Elymian sites have been professionally investigated, for a start?--Wetman 03:12, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Is it anything non-Greek and specifically "anatolian" known today in their culture that has been defining as "Elymian"? And if so famous historians and the roman state itself during the centuries believed that the Elymians come from Troy, who are we to define these beliefs as "claims"?
