The son of Eos (Dawn) and Tithonos; he fought on the side of the Trojans during the siege of Troy and was killed by Akhilleus (Achilles).
His name means Steadfast; he is described as an Ethiopian by Homer in The Iliad and is mentioned by the sixth century CE Greek writer, Proklos (Proclus) where he is described in the poem, Aethiopis, which was once part of the Epic Cycle, i.e. poems about the fall of Troy; a colossal bronze statue of Memnon was erected at the city of Thebes as a testament to his popularity.
