The Greek Caledonians [Calydonioi], the inhabitants of the Greek city-state of Calydon in Aetolia, Greece, dispersed in all directions during the "Greek Migrations" following the fall of Calydon City at the time of the conquest of the "Early Greeks", that is, the Myceneans, by the "Classical Greeks", that is, the Hellenes, circa 1250BC, and became one of several groups of the so-called Greek Sea-Peoples which roamed the high seas making raids on Mediterranean lands and establishing Greek settlements all over the Mediterranean region. Some settled in the British Isles and became the British Caledonians, while others settled among the Kurds in East Anatolia where they found the Kingdom of Urartu [or, Van] and became the Khaldians; while still others began roving about in the Middle East with Aramaic tribes and were Semiticized and became the Babylonian Chaldeans. Their cousins, the Pelesti, another Mycenean Greek tribe, settled in Canaan which came to be called "Palestine" after them, and was one of the "five tribes of the Philistines", that is, the "five cities of Gaza"; while the Chalcidic Greeks, other Myceneans, settled in South-West Italy and Eastern Sicily where they found a colony whose influence gave their culture and alphabet to the later Romans. The Caledonians of British History, whose story is given in the "Lebor Gabala", are identified with "Partholon’s People", the Partholonians of Irish Mythology, so-called for their leader Partholan, a Greek sea-king. As the letter "P" was unknown in Gaelic language, his name must have been copied from a classical document, which means that there must have been a Latin-language original of the Gaelic-language "Lebor Gabala". He is called "Parthi" in medieval Scottish manuscripts. Legend says that Partholon [Portholon], a Greek prince, the son of Sera (Seara), King of the Greek city-state of Calydon, murdered his father to inherit the kingdom, but was resisted by his uncle, who expelled him in a counter-coup. He fled with some followers, called "Partholonians" in Irish myth, and he and his followers appear in Egypt before they came to the British Isles as Greek mercenaries in the employ of the Egyptian pharaoh Rameses III, whose daughter, Dalny (Dealgnaid) [called "Scota" also], was taken by Partholan as his wife. The Greek mercenaries in Egypt revolted against their Egyptian employers, and Rameses III successfully drove the mutinous Greek mercenaries out of Egypt. This episode is documented by writings on Egyptian ruins. Partholan and his followers thereupon took to their ships and departed Egypt with a great deal of booty and set sail for the open sea, where they became pirates.The Partholonians/Caledonians were the first of the Greek Sea-Peoples to reach the British Isles, according to the "Lebor Gabala", the Irish epic. In Ireland, the Partholonians [Caledonians], under Partholan, are said to have fought the Irish aborigines, the Fomorians, called "giants", that is, the "Picts" [Gaelic: "Cruithni"] of British History, under Cichol Gricenchos, their king; and to have conquered a fifth-part of the island, that is, Ulster, where they cleared-out for themselves a settlement, for which Partholan is sometimes called the "first" King of Ireland, establishing his residence in Ulster, on the isle "Inis-Samer" in the river Erne. The descendants of Partholan, another British dynasty, were the chiefs of the British Caledonians and the ancestors of dynasties in Ireland, The Isles [the Hebrides], and Scotland. That is, Partholon [called "Parthi" in ancient Scottish annals], by his Egyptian wife, Dalny (Scota), was the father of three sons, who were: (1) Rudraidhe (Rudraige), the eldest son, the founder of Ulster’s first dynasty, the Rudricans, which reigned over a thousand years into medieval times; (2) Laighline (Luchtai), the second-son, the ancestor of the Scottish branch of the dynasty, which held sway in Scotland over a large territory, the Kings of Kaledonia, whose royal seat or capital city was at Dunkeld; and (3) Slaigne, the third son, was the ancestor of a dynasty of Manx kings, who held sway over Scotland's "Western Islands" [the "Hebrides"]. Legend says that the last male-line descendant of Partholan was Tuan Mac Cairill, a Kaledonian prince, who was a contemporary of St. Columba of Iona and St. Finnian of Moville, to whom he told the story of his ancestors. The father of Tuan, namely, Cairill, the last King of Kaledonia, was a knight in King Arthur’s Court, who claimed to be descended from Luchtai, the second-son of Parthi (Partholan). Tuan, the Caledonian heir, lived on into the reign of the Scottish king Aidan "Fradog" (574-608) and died childless at an advanced age.
