Comment: I don't know enough about the mythology to understand, but is this the same myth as Memnon? -- NotCharizard 🗨 10:44, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Memnun (Memrun? Memnun?) is the Etruscan name analogous to the Latinized as Memnon , further analogous to how Epic Greek described the Eithopian King, epic hero Μέμνων.[1][2]
Memnun is Thesan's the son by Tithonus, whom Thesan abducted when Thinthun (Tithonus) was young man- to be her lover. Subsequently, Memum was killed in the Trojan War.Eos grieved so terribly that she threatened never to bring forth the dawn again. She was finally persuaded to return, but in her grief she weeps tears of dew every morning for her beloved son.
The Etruscan Mirror's displayed similar motifs as the Greek ones did -such as Memnon Pieta.[3]
One mirror-back shows her before Tinia (Zeus) with Thethis (Thetis), the mother of Achilles. Both goddesses plead with Tinia to spare their sons' lives; but both were already doomed to die.
The relief mirror (Accession Number: 22.139.84) likely displays Thesan carrying off the body of her dead son Memun from the battelfield.[4]
