< Amphictyon, son of Deucalion >
1 Origin
Amphictyon was born in Pyrrha (later Melitaea) in Thessaly in 1530 BC.
Amphictyon's father was Deucalion. [Apo.1.7.2, Diod.4.60.2, Euseb.Chron.183, Strabo.9.5.6, Thucy.1.3]
2 Family
Amphictyon married the daughter of Cranaus, the second king of Athens. [Paus.1.2.6, Euseb.Chron.183]
Amphictyon had a son, Tithonus. [TzeAdLyco.1206]
3 Others
In 1503 BC, Amphictyon moved to Athens and married the daughter of Cranaus. [Paus.1.2.6, Euseb.Chron.183]
In 1502 BC, Amphictyon became the third king of Athens after expelling Cranaus. Cranaus fled to Lamptrae, between Athens and Sunium, where he died. [Apo.3.14.6, Euseb.183, aus.1.31.3]
In 1492 BC, Amphictyon was expelled from Athens by Erichthonius, son of Atthis, daughter of Cranaus. [Diod.1.29.1, Paus.1.2.6]
Amphictyon's whereabouts after leaving Athens are unknown.
Lycus, who wrote the history of Thebes, reports that Thebe, daughter of Iodama, daughter of Tithonus, son of Amphictyon, married Aegyptus. [TzeAdLyco.1206]
If this Amphictyon is the same as the third king of Athens, Amphictyon, then Tithonus' mother is presumed to have been the daughter of Cranaus.
Aegyptus was the son of Belus, the son of Libya, the daughter of Epaphus, the son of Io.
Thebe was the daughter of Iodama, the daughter of Tithonus, the son of the daughter of Cranaus, the son of Io.
In other words, it is presumed that Amphictyon himself, or his son Tithonus, emigrated to Egypt. Amphictyon's wife, the daughter of Cranaus, was born in Egypt.
