Proteus of Egypt
Proteus was an ancient Egyptian king who was associated with the island of Pharos, his residence in Homer's ''Odyssey''. Virgil, however, instead of Pharos, mentions the island of Carpathos, between Crete and Rhodes.〔''Georgics'' iv. 387; compare to Homer's ''Iliad'' ii. 676〕 This Greek island is the closest to Pharos geographically.
==Etymology==
The name of Pharos may be a Greek adaptation of the title Pharaoh. Also, 'Proteus' may be based on one of the titles of Egyptian king, ''Prouti'', signifying the "high doors" of the temple.〔Anne Burton, (''Diodorus Siculus, Book 1: A Commentary''. ) BRILL, 1973. ISBN 9004035141〕
Proteus also seems to have been associated with Thrace, and legends portray him as coming from Thrace to Egypt, or as going from Egypt to Thrace.〔(Proteus ), Theoi Project〕
There's also some sort of association of Proteus with the island of Lemnos, close to Thrace.
