https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydyk
Sydyk and Misor are described as being born from Amunos and Magos, who were in turn born from the "Wanderers" or Titans. Sydyk is described as the father of the "Dioskouroi or Kabeiroi or Korybants or Samothracians", who are credited with the invention of the ship
I am indebted for this information to my late friend, Mr. John Hookham Frere, friend of Canning and British Envoy at Madrid, a man justly famous for sense of humor (like Aristophanes and Foote). He was told by a credible Maltese scholar that the Maltese, when speaking openly about religious matters, used to say as follows: "Everybody knows Adam was the First Man; but we alone know that he possessed fishing-boats.” This can only be a Phoenician memory.

Also, Apollo is usually equated with the Phoenician plague god Resheph. This might be a variant version of Eshmun's parentage, or Apollo might also be equated with Sadyk, and Sadyk might be equated with Resheph.
In Cyprus, Eshmun was syncretized with Melqart
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Šanta
However, it is also possible that the name Sandakos was not derived from Šanta, and that it is etymologically related to the Semitic root ṣdq, "righteous", and by extension to the theonym Sydyk.
