Actually, if we're going with the known looseness of Pelaskite women thing, I'd vote for polyandrous, myself. (Or just polyamourous in general.)

I think Great Tribe has some potential.

That's really not a bad idea at all. The Isle of Man should have some very good stuff for specific myths. Although I don't know how well the Atlantic tracks to our lovely Mirrorsea Bay.

Except that from what I've been led to believe (don't know the citation), Karse is a survival center of Pelaskite culture, which implies to me that this is something different than just "fishermen".
