Re: Egyptian Lineage known to Diodorus Siculus

Post by billd89 »


”My father is Kronos-Geb, the youngest of all the Gods, and I am Osiris the King, Who campaigned over every country as far as the uninhabited regions of India and the lands to the north, even to the sources of the river Ister (the Danube of modern Romania) and again to the remaining parts of the world as far as Okeanos.

I am the eldest son of Kronos-Geb, and being sprung from a fair and noble was begotten a seed of kindred birth to Day. There is no region of the inhabited world to which I have not come, dispensing to all men the things of which I was the discoverer”.
[Diodorus Siculus, I, 27]
