* Emathion, king of [[Aethiopia]] or [[Arabia]], the son of [[Tithonus]] and [[Eos]], and brother of [[Memnon (mythology)|Memnon]]. [[Heracles]] killed him. Herakles had to fight Emathion, who came across the valley of the Nile on his way to steal the golden apples of the Hesperis, and killed him and gave his kingdom to Memnon. According to a rumor, Emathion wanted to prevent Herakles from stealing the golden apples.
