Achilles demigod skin#
Memnon is often depicted to have dark skin and curly hair. Memnon had many half-brothers from different fathers some of them including Stilbon, Phaethon, Phainon, Euros, Vulturnus Anemoi Venti, Aquilon Anemoi Venti and about eight others. Tithonus was a Trojan prince his father was King Laomedon of Troy.Įos brought Tithonus to east Ethiopia where he established himself they had two sons Memnon and Emathion. She was the goddess of Dawn, and she fell in love with Tithonus a prince of Troy. According to Greek mythology, Eos was one of the three children of the Titans Hyperion and Thia (also known as Euryphaessa). Memnon was the son of Tithonus and the goddess Eos. We gain understanding of the religious worldview of Homer from Hesoid’s works Theogony, Works and Days and the Shield of Heracles.

The Epic cycle includes Aethiopis, the Cypria, the Little Illiad, the Illiupersis, the Nostoi and the Telegony. The story of Memnon has been pieced together by combining both the Homeric epics (the Illiad and the Odyssey) and the non-Homeric epics (the Epic cycle, a series of poems relating the story of the Trojan Wars in dactylic hexameter). Being a nephew to the King of Troy he came to the defence of Troy with his great army when the Archaeans (Greeks) laid siege on the city. Many of you might be surprised to know he featured prominently and contributed in no small measure to the legendary Trojan war, of Greek mythology. One such character is Memnon, king of ancient Aethiopia, a king from somewhere in Africa. The role Africans played in ancient mythologies has been largely downplayed or misrepresented by many historians and film makers.
