Elishah

Scholars have often identified Elishah with Cypriots, as in ancient times the island of Cyprus or part of it was known as Alashiya.

[3] Judean historian Flavius Josephus related the descendants of Elishah with the Aeolians, one of the ancestral branches of the Greeks.

Portuguese folklore traditionally makes Elishah (under the name Lysias/Lísias)[7] an ancestor and predecessor of Lusus (Elisha being older, having arrived accompanying his uncle Tubal founding Portalegre in 1900 BC under Iberian king Brigo).

[10] All this is debated; Lusus has also been described as coming before Lysias, who would thus be too late to be Elishah[11] or vaguely at the same time, or even the same individual under different names.

[16] Elishah in this Portuguese portrayal is identified with Bacchus' captain Lysias/Lísias, sometimes also with Lusus and Phoroneus,[17] and is referred to as the founder of Portalegre and being buried at the Ermida de São Cristovão (Chapel of Saint Christopher) inside the town.
