    Judah's grandson Darda was one of the first who left Egypt and became the progenitor of the later Trojans in Anatolia-

    "Of these children Dardanus, who was a man who entertained great designs and was the first to make his way across to Asia in a makeshift boat, founded at the outset a city called Dardanus, organized the kingdom which lay about the city which was called Troy at a later time, and called the peoples Dardanians after himself".
    Diodorus Siculus - Library of History 5.48

    "To him a son Erichthonius was born, who far excelled in good fortune and in wealth. To Erichthonios was born a son Tros, who called the people of the land Trojans, after his own name".
    Diodorus Siculus - Library of History 4.75
