Hmm.....well written and romantic but...
Thiaki for Ithaka is used for first time in a letter of the Venetian Provleptes of the ioninas arrount 1500 A.D. not earlier.
Danaoi appear in Egyptian plates as DanWWoi arrount 1250 B.C.
Greeks were familiar with the British isles under the name "Kassiterides nissi" or "Pewter Islands" as plaque from Amnissos Crete dated 1900 B.C.
The common origin of European words can be easily explained if you see a map of the Area arround 25000 B.C. were the Mediteranean is but two big lakes. Pontus ans Caspia are just one "Great Sarmtian Sea". The tribes and clans originating in this triangle seem to have a more common origin than once belived and yes oral tradition carries attavistic memories but the good professor oversimplifies.
Kind regards
