ION - IA = SMYRN - A.

Ion-Ia is am ancient region of central coastal Ana-Tolia in present day Turkey, the region nearest Izmir, which was historically Smyrn-A.
The Ion-Ians were one of the 4 major tribes that the Greek considered themselves to be divided into, during Antiquity; alongside Dori-Ans,  Aeol-Ians,  and Acha-Eans.
In the Book of Genesis, Jav-An is a son of Jap-Heth (Greek: Iap-Heth = enlarge). Jap-Heth, one of the sons of Noah in the Abrahamic tradition, is considered to be the progenitor of Europeans and some As-Ian peoples.
In Greek mythology, Iap-Etus, also Jap-Etus (Wound, Piercer) is the one Titan mentioned by Homer in the "IL-Iad as being in Tartar-Us with Cron-Us. He is a brother of Cron-Us, who ruled the world during the Golden Age.  Iap-Etus, the son of Uran-Us and Ga-Ia, and father (by  an Ocean-Id named Cly-Mene or As-Ia) of At-Las,  Prome-Theus,  Epime-Theus, and Menoet-Ius.
The sons of Iap-Etus were regarded as mankind's ancestors, and as such some of humanity's worst qualities were said to have been inherited from these 4 gods, each of whom were described with a particular moral fault that often led to their own downfall. For instance, sly and clever Prome-Theus represent crafty scheming in the negative sense; the inept and guileless Epime-Theus, foolish stupidity; enduring At-Las, excessive daring; and arrogant Menoet-Ius, rash violence.
Horace December 8, 65 / November 27, 8 BC), a Roman lyric poet during the time of Augustus, describes how "audax Iap-Eti genus / Ignem fraude mala gentibus intulit" meaning "the bold offspring of Iap-Etus brought fire to peoples by wicked deceit."
The Foundation Myth which was current in the Classical period suggested that the Ion-Ians were named after Ion, illegitimate child of Cre- Us-A, daughter of Erech-Theus and wife of Xuth-Us.
She conceived Ion with Apol-Lo then she abandoned the child. Apol-Lo asked Her-Mes to take Ion from his cradle. Ion was saved and raised by a priestess of the Delphic Oracle.
Xuth-Us was a son of Hellen and Orse-Is and founder, through his sons, of the Acha-Ean and Ion-Ian nations. He had two sons by Cre-Us-A: Ion, and Acha-Eus.
Xuth-Us was informed by the oracle that the first person he encountered when leaving the oracle would be his son, and this person was Ion. He interpreted it that he had fathered Ion, when, in fact, Apol-Lo was giving him Ion as an adoptive son.
In Sanskrit sources, the use of the word "Yona" appears in relation to the Greek kingdoms which neighbored or sometimes occupied the Pun-Jab region over a period of several centuries from the 4th BC to the 1st CE, such as the Seleu-Cid empire, the Greco-Bactrian kingdom and the Indo-Greek kingdom.
After Alexander the Great's invasion, the Greek settlements had existed in Eastern parts of Acha-Emen-Id empire, as neighbors to the Cambojas, a tribe of Indo-Iranian origin. The Cambojas are also described as a royal clan of the Sakas, the term used in Persian and Sanskrit sources for the Scyth-Ians.
The Scyth-Ians to the far North of Assyria were also called Saka Suni (Saka or Scythian sons).
The Maha-bha-Rata, one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Rama-Yana, contains prophecies that MLec-Cha (Barbarian) kings of the Sakas, Yavanas, Cambojas, Bahlikas etc. shall rule the earth unrighteously in Cali-Yuga ..." . This reference alludes to chaotic political scenario following the collapse of the Ma-Ur-Ya and Shunga empires in the Northern region and its subsequent occupation by foreign hordes such as of the Yonas, Cambojas, Sakas, and Pahlavas.
The Rama-Yadan records prophecies the 180 BC Yona attacks on Saket, Panchala, Mathura, and Pataliputra, against the Shunga empire: "After having conquered Saketa, the country of the Panchala and the Mathuras, the Yavanas, wicked and valiant, will reach Cusu-Madh-Vaja (the town of the flower-standard). The thick mud-fortifications at Pataliputra being reached, all the provinces will be in disorder, without doubt."
"Ultimately, a great battle will follow, with tree-like engines (siege engines). The Yavanas (Greeks) will command, the Kings will disappear. The Yavanas, intoxicated with fighting, will not stay in Madh-Adesa (the Middle Country); there will be undoubtedly a civil war among them, arising in their own country, there will be a terrible and ferocious war."
