Histories

When I asked why Perseus appeared only to them, and why, unlike all other Egyptians, they celebrate games, they told me that Perseus was by lineage of their city; for Danaus and Lynceus, who travelled to Greece [22,39] (nation), EuropeGreece, were of +Akhmim [31.733,26.566] (inhabited place), Sawhaj, Upper Egypt, Egypt, Africa Khemmis; and they traced descent from these down to Perseus.

They told how he came to +Akhmim [31.733,26.566] (inhabited place), Sawhaj, Upper Egypt, Egypt, Africa Khemmis, too, when he came to Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt for the reason alleged by the Greeks as well—namely, to bring the Gorgon's head from Libya [17,25] (nation), AfricaLibya—and recognized all his relatives; and how he had heard the name of +Akhmim [31.733,26.566] (inhabited place), Sawhaj, Upper Egypt, Egypt, Africa Khemmis from his mother before he came to Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt. It was at his bidding, they said, that they celebrated the games.
