Cercetes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Cercetes (Ancient Greek: Κερκέτης) was an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus.
The form Κερκέτης was put forward by Richard Wagner. Other spellings, which Wilhelm Capelle deems incorrect, include: κέρκηστις, found in certain manuscripts; κερκήστης, used by Christian Gottlob Heyne; and κερκέστης, mentioned by Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher.[1]
Family
In the Bibliotheca, a 1st- or 2nd-century AD mythological compendium by the mythographer Apollodorus, Cercetes is one of the sons of Aegyptus, the king of Egypt. Cercetes marries Dorion, one of the fifty Danaïdes, daughters of the Libyan king Danaus.[2]
