| Notes |
- Ilus is important in that he is also the father of Themiste, the mother of Anchises (See Iliad), who was in turn the father of Aeneus (whose mother was Aphrodite). Aneas and Aphrodite's line led to the Julians in Rome (as well as to Romulus and Remus) and ultimately to Julius Caesar, so this is the common ancestor between the two of us (the closest common known to me at any rate). A connection to Caesar is cool even if the family was essentially on the side of the Barbarians much of the rest of the time from a Roman point of view!
