Separated out section for fictional depiction of Zannanza in Red River -- the Zannanza Affair is reasonably well-documented in both Egyptian and Hittite sources (at least, as much as a 3340-year-old diplomatic spat can be!). -- Miwa * talk * contribs ^_^ 09:35, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zannanza and "Sea monster" of Greek myth

Perhaps, Zannanza was the "sea monster" of Greek myth of Andromeda.

Consequently,

• Ankhesenamen should be indetified with Andromeda.
• Akhenaton should be identified with Cepheus^{[disambiguation needed]}.
• Nefertiti should be identified with Cassiope.
• Ay should be identified with Phineus.

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.
