Ancient ancestors of the Ducks.

[Dim I Nticoudis]

  Gilles mentions an ancestor of the Ducks who is Greek called Alexander 
Duck.I have never heard of him.But there is a story with greek 
ancestors.Maybe you can find him among them.It is the 1990 multi-part "Le 
sette meraviglie dei paperi" by Fabio Michelini and Giuseppe Della Santa in 
which Scrooge McDuck tells the tales of seven monuments his ancestors had 
built on different times and places.I sadly do not know the original Italian 
names of the characters but I can mention the name of the story,when and 
where it takes place.
  Part I is called "Il Cubo di Paperubik"(I TL 1800-A).It takes place in 
Egypt on 3010 BC staring the main brunch of the Ducks family at the time.
  Part II is called "I giardini pensili di Paperlona"(I TL 1801-A).It takes 
place in the city Paperlona of Messopotamia on 860 BC.The Ducks have left 
Egypt for this area now.
  Part III is called "La Statua di Giove Olimpo"(I TL 1802-C).It takes place 
in Olympia,Greece on 776 BC where a brunch of the Ducks from Messopotamia 
has settled.The story takes place during the first historic Olympic games.
  Part IV is called "Il templo di Amelide"(I TL 1803-A).It takes place in 
Ephesus,modern Turkey on 560 BC where a brunch from Olympia has now settled.
  Part V is called "Il mausoleo di Papernasso"(I TL 1804-C).It takes place 
in Papernasso,modern Turkey on 377 BC where a brunch from Ephesus has now 
settled.
  Part VI is called "Il Colosso di Paperodi"(I TL 1805-A).It takes place in 
Paperodi,an island in the Aegean sea on 300 BC where a brunch from 
Papernasso has now settled.
  Part VII is called "Il Faro di Paperandria"(I TL 1806-A).It takes place in 
Paperandria,Egypt on 270 BC where a brunch from Paperodi has now settled.
  Perhaps one of the Ducks in this story was translated in Holland as 
Alexander Duck.I hope you can find the Italian names Gilles.
