Cercetes
Son of Aegyptus in Greek mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Cercetes (Ancient Greek: Κερκέτης) was an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus.[1]
Family
Cercetes's mother was a Phoenician woman and thus full brother of Agaptolemus, Eurydamas, Aegius, Argius, Archelaus and Menemachus. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus,[2] or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre.[3]
