Muthis
Muthis may have been an ephemeral ancient Egyptian pharaoh of the Twenty-ninth dynasty.
==Biography==
He is sometime reported as a son of Nepherites I who ruled for a brief time before being deposed by an usurper, Psammuthes.〔Nicolas Grimal, ''A History of Ancient Egypt'', Blackwell Books, 1992.〕 However, this statement is based on an interpretation of a passage in the ''Demotic chronicle'':
«His son (i.e. of Nepherites I) was allowed to succeed him. (But) a short time was vouchsafed to him...» Nevertheless, the ''Demotic chronicle'' never mention the name of Muthis and, as pointed out by the Egyptologist John D. Ray, "his son" could be a reference to Hakor instead.〔Ray, op. cit., p. 155.〕
It is also possible that Muthis was a very shadowly usurper, maybe related to the other usurper Psammuthes. Another option is that "Muthis" was simply a copying error, and therefore never existed; the latter hypotesis is supported by the fact that the name is clearly hellenized but there are no clues of what could have originally meant "Muthis" in Egyptian.〔Ray, op. cit., p. 152.〕
