[edit] Cepheus and Akhenaton
Perhaps, Aethiopian Cepheus[disambiguation needed] was the same person with Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaton.
Consequently,
- Ankhesenamen should be indetified with Andromeda.
- Ay should be identified with Phineus.
- Nefertiti should be identified with Cassiope.
- Zannanza should be identified with the "sea monster" of Greek myth of Andromeda.
Perseus born in Chemmis (a ancient Egyptian city near Panopolis) (see Herodotus Histories). He was, originally, an admiral of Egyptian Navy.
He defeated Gorgons, an pirate people ( ~ Careans) of South Asia Minor or Cyprus (e.g. Golgi, an ancient Cypriot city) and killed its queen Medusa. So, he became famous.
Later, he undertook (by Egyptian nationalists) to assassinate Zannanza, an Hittites prince, son of Suppiluliuma I.
He should give Ankhesenamen ( = Andromeda) to Ay (= Phineus) but, indead, he drive Andromeda and his fleet to Argos of Greece.
