Arabian?

[edit]

This page is linked to from the Heracles page, in a paragraph that says Emathion was an Arabian prince or king. None of the entries on this page says so. Please make the correction where needed. 71.163.117.143 (talk) 23:06, 3 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Diodorus Siculus said that Emathion, like his brother Memnon, was king of Ethiopia:
"[4.27.3] About this time Heracles, while engaged in the performance of his last Labour, slew in Libya Antaeus, who was compelling all strangers to wrestle with him, and upon Busiris in Egypt, who was sacrificing to Zeus the strangers who visited his country, he inflicted the punishment which he deserved. After this Heracles sailed up the Nile into Ethiopia, where he slew Emathion, the king of the Ethiopians, who had made battle with him unprovoked, and then returned to the completion of his last Labour."

but it's possible other sources declare him Arabian. Tabbycatlove (talk) 03:02, 29 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
