Apis (Greek mythology) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Apis (Greek mythology) Apis (; ) is the name of a figure, or several figures, appearing in the earliest antiquity according to Greek mythology and historiography. It is uncertain exactly how many figures of the name Apis are to be distinguished, particularly due to variation of their genealogies. A common element is that an Apis was an early king in the Peloponnesus and had a territory named after himself, and Apis was often, but not always, ascribed an Egyptian origin. For the sake of convenience, the variant myths are presented here as if they dealt with separate characters. ==King of Argos== Apis was a king of Argos. He was a son of Phoroneus by the nymph Teledice, and brother of Niobe. During his reign he established a tyrannical government and called the Peloponnesus after his own name Apia, but was eventually killed in a conspiracy headed by Thelxion, king of Sparta, and Telchis.〔Pseudo-Apollodorus, ''Bibliotheca'' 2. 1. 1〕 Argus Panoptes, a descendant of his sister Niobe, avenged his murder by putting Thelxion and Telchis to death.〔Pseudo-Apollodorus, ''Bibliotheca'' 2. 1. 2〕 In another tradition, Apis is said to have given up his kingdom to his brother Argus and to have gone to Egypt where he reigned for a number of years.〔Eusebius, ''Chronicle'', n. 271〕〔Augustine, ''De Civitate Dei'', 18. 5〕 This statement shows that Egyptian myths were mixed up with the story of Apis, see Apis (Egyptian mythology).
