According to him, Neptune and Lybia had three children, Agenor, Belus, and Enyalius or Mars.

Belus married Sida, and had issue AEgyptus and Danaus; while Agenor married Tyro, and became the father of five children--Cadmus, Phoenix, Syrus, Cilix, and Europa.
Many further proofs might be adduced, were they needed, of the Greek belief in an Asiatic Ethiopia, situated somewhere between Arabia and India, on the shores of the Erythraean Sea.

Herodotus twice speaks of the Ethiopians of Asia, whom he very carefully distinguishes from those of Africa, and who can only be sought in this position.

Ephorus, as we have already seen, extended the Ethiopians along the whole of the coast washed by the Southern Ocean.

Eusebius has preserved a tradition that, in the reign of Amenophis III., a body of Ethiopians migrated from the country about the Indus, and settled in the valley of the Nile.
