< Antimachus, son of Aegyptus >

1 Origin

Antimachus was born in Chemmis, Nile Delta, Egypt, in 1450 BC.

Antimachus' father was Aegyptus, son of Belus. [Hyginus.170]

Antimachus' mother was Isaie, daughter of Agenor. [FGrH.333.21]

2 Family

Antimachus married Midea, daughter of Danaus. [Hyginus.170]

Antimachus and Midea had a son, Amphianax. [Paus.3.25.10]

3 Others

In 1430 BC, Antimachus and his father emigrated from Egypt to the northwest of the Peloponnesus Peninsula. [Estimated from Paus.7.21.13]

This is believed to have been due to the oppression of Greeks living in the Nile Delta by Egyptian 18th Dynasty Pharaoh Thutmose III.
