Three Maries

As big supporter of Jezus Christ, Mary Magdalene seems to be the first witness of his resurrection: She even might have fled to Gaul, been his wife & author of a gospel. These namesakes also lived during the epoch of the saviour: Mary the Virgin, Mary of Bethany, Mary of Clopas & Mary the Peaceful. Some might be duplicates, but also form groups of "Three Maries":

According to Eastern Orthodoxy, Lazarus fled to Cyprus. According to mainstream history, emperor Andronikos Komnenos died in Constantinople, but some claim he managed to escape to Cyprus. Is the bishop of Kition a partial duplicate of the emperor, which might be a partial duplicate of the saviour?

That escape is similar to the escape of Aeneas, a name very similar to Aenon: The emperor had estates in Oinaion, so might he also be a partial duplicate of the saviour?

Could the son of Anchises have arrived by boat near Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, instead of in Latium?

Are the Cathars right in claiming the saviour had a wife?
