The brother of the tragic Carthaginian queen, Dido.
He is considered to be both a fictional and historic figure; in either case he is portrayed as a greedy and murderous man; the son of king Matgenos of the Phoenician city of Tyre, he murdered his uncle (who was also his brother-in-law), Sychaeus, hoping to take his fortune; he was unable to seize Sychaeus’ money because Dido took the accumulated wealth and fled to northern Africa where she founded the city of Carthage.
