Talk:Phineus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Pineus and Ay
Perhaps, Aethiopian Phineus was the same person with Egyptian pharaoh Ay.
Consequently,
- Ankhesenamen should be indetified with Andromeda.
- Akhenaton should be identified with Cepheus[disambiguation needed].
- 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.
