Nilus [61428]

  General Notes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nilus_(mythology)


Nilus, in Greek mythology , was the son of Oceanus and Tethys . He represented the god of the Nile river itself and was father to several children. Of these included Memphis (mother of Libya by Epaphus a king of Egypt ), as well as a son named Nilus Ankhmemiphis (the father of Anchinoe and Telephassa).
His granddaughter Libya in turn became mother to Belus and Agenor . These sons then married (presumably) younger daughters of his son Nilus named Anchinoe and Telephassa respectively. His other children include: Chione , Anippe , and (possibly) Caliadne and Polyxo . Though he represented the Nile, Nilus's overall importance in Greek Mythology is very small. Had he been an Egyptian god his importance would have been much greater.

Nilus married.
