I heard a guy persuasively argue the Philistenes were from Crete.

[Verginius Rufus]

The Cretan poet Epimenides said that "the Cretans are always liars." So if the Philistines said they were from Crete, should we believe them?

Of course if Epimenides was a Cretan, he must have been lying when he said that Cretans are always liars.

What about the Cherethites and Pelethites (David's mercenaries: see II Samuel 8.18)? Where were they from? "Cherethites" suggests a connection to Crete.
