The Peoples of Ancient Europe

Japheth: The father of all the Indo-European peoples, it would be surpizing if his name had gone unremembered among them. As it is, we find that the early Greeks worshipped him as Iapetos, or Iapetus, who they regarded as the son of heaven and earth, the father of many nations. Likewise, in the ancient Sanskrit Vedas of India he is remembered as Pra-Japati, the sun and ostensible Lord of Creation. As time went by, his name was further corrupted as Iupater, and eventually Jupiter. None of these names are of Greek, Indian or Latin origin, but are merely corruptions of the original name of Japheth. [Cooper, Bill: After The Flood, p. 199]
