English (Thayer)

ἡ (always without the article, Buttmann, 87 (76); Winer's Grammar, § 18,5a.), the proper name of a well-known country, Egypt: γῆ Αἴγυπτος, L WH Tr text), ἡ γῆ Αἴγυπτος, ἐν Αἰγύπτου namely, γῆ, Buttmann, 171 (149); (Winer's Grammar, 384 (359)). In Αἴγυπτος is figuratively used for Jerusalem, i. e. for the Jewish nation viewed as persecuting Christ and his followers, and so to be likened to the Egyptians in their ancient hostility to the true God and their endeavors to crush his people.

Wikipedia EN

In Greek mythology, Aegyptus or Ægyptus (/ɪˈdʒɪptəs/; Ancient Greek: Αἴγυπτος) may refer to the following related characters:

  1. Aegyptus, son of Zeus and Thebe of Egypt and thus, can be considered brother to the earlier Heracles. He may be the same or different with the one below.
  2. Aegyptus, king of Egypt and son of King Belus and the naiad Achiroe.
  3. Aegyptus, an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of above King Aegyptus. His mother was Gorgo and thus full brother of Periphas, Oeneus, Menalces, Lampus and Idmon. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus, or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre. Aegyptus suffered the same fate as his other brothers, save Lynceus, when they were slain on their wedding night by their wives who obeyed the command of their father King Danaus of Libya. He married the Danaid Dioxippe, daughter of Danaus and Pieria, or the other Danaid Polyxena.

Middle Liddell


I. the river Nile, Od.; called Νεῖλος first in Hes.
II. Egypt, Od.
