< Sardus >

1 Origin

In 1420 BC, Sardus was born in the Nile Delta of Egypt.

Sardus' father was Maceris, who was called Egyptian Heracles or Phoenician Heracles.

2 Life

Sardus emigrated from Canopus of Egypt to the island of Ichnussa (later Sardinia) on the west side of the Italian peninsula.

The island came to be called Sardinia after Sardus' name.

There is a "Temple of Father Sardus" in the southwest of Sardinia, and it is assumed that Sardus emigrated to the area around there.

Later, near the settlement of Sardus, Nora (near Cape Pula) was founded, the oldest town on the island. It was founded by Norax, son of Erytheia, a descendant of Sardus.
