Welsh rulers such as Maelgwn Gwynedd and Rhodri Mawr claimed a lineage that went back to classical times and beyond:

Note, the ancestry of Mynogan in MP 1a differs from the other two lists. This may be because Enaid is a female name and refers to his mother. This appears to be confirmed by MP 1b where the name takes the form Enid.

In JC 17 Gwair of gen. appears with the name Caid.

Tros, the founder of Troy, was the son of Erichthonius who in turn was the son of Dardanus of Greek mythology. Aeneas managed to escape after the Trojan war and his generation number -51 would date the war to c. 1100 BCE. This is close to the time, 1180 BCE, of destruction by fire of Troy VIIa.

Stone:
“Addedomaros may be the Aedd Mawr of the Welsh chronicles.”[1]
However, this suggestion is unlikely to be correct as there would then be a dating issue. Aedd Mawr was born c. 390 BCE whereas the coinage of Addedomarus, a king of the Trinovantes, indicates a reign in the latter half of the first century BCE.
