Talk:Epaphus

This sounds awfully factual; isn't this at least somewhat mythical ? -- ll


 * Yes, Zeus and the other figures in the story are quite well-known for being mythical :) Pakaran 03:33, 17 Dec 2003 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I was far too elliptical :) I meant, whereas I can clearly see that the first sentence about being the son of Zeus is mythical, I'm not sure if the subsequent parts are entirely mythical, or partly historical, or of unknown character.


 * According to Memphis, Egypt, the city was founded in 3100 BC by Menes of Thini. It's not impossible/unlikely that this story is a legend-ized version of history, though. Tuf-Kat 03:46, Dec 17, 2003 (UTC)

Is the line after Libya really necessary? Its doesnt seem to be well worded or pertinent- maybe someone with a better grasp of mythology can help.

Memphis and Cassiopeia
"Epaphus is regarded in the myths as the founder of Memphis, Egypt. With his wife, Memphis (or according to others, Cassiopeia)". I read the article on Libya (mythology) and it says that for the Roman mythology, Cassiopeia was the wife of Epaphus. Is this the case only in Roman mythology or these "others" mentioned above are Greek mythology sources?
