I was making this family tree yesterday of ancient families and stumbled upon a remarkable discovery. I've read some documents that said Darda of the bible was son of Zarah (Zerah) and Electra. Coincidentally, the greek mythology says Darda Dardanus, ancestor of the kings of Troy, is son of a so called Electra, only this time, instead of Zerah, it was Zeus who fathered this son.
So I just want to know this: Is there someone in the bible that goes by the name Electra? I'd appreciate an answer.

Electra was the daughter of Oedipus as well

Zarah was the son of Judah.
Electra is not in the Bible.
(See Gen 38:30, Nehemiah 11:24, Matthew 1:3)
Like the one guy said, there are a lot of references to "Zerah" in the Bible.

No. Those two names do not appear any where in the Bible.
Furthermore, none of these other names are mentioned in the Bible, either.
I'm not sure if you're just trying to be cute, or if you actually are that uninformed.
