Greek-Deity-Icarus-Turkic-Iokaru

 

Greek Ikaros / Turkic yukaru (to rise)

Ikarus a deity who rose and rose and vanished.

His name has no etymology.

Now below 2 Turkic/Altaic roots, containing the meaning of to rise.

Additionally there is a word yok, meaning venished, there is not, is not, disapperaed...

Startling parallels.

And a poem by me for Icarus:

Ikarus Yukarı hep yukarı derken Yokyere yokoldu Babası yokolduğu yere Ikarya dedi Daha sonra Yörenin Türkleri oraya Ahikarya dediler Ah İkarya.

Ah Ikarus

*

English bad translation;

Icarus 

Above 

always up 

he thought

Without reason

he vanished

His father 

called the place

where it disappeared 

Ikaria 

Later Turks of the region called this place Ahikarya 

They said Oh Ikaria

Oh Ikarus
