Labdakos to Lethe Leto to Lysizonos
To the ancient Greeks, all of Africa west of Egypt was considered to be Libya.
When the Argonauts were stranded in Libya, the half-fish, half-man shaped god, Triton, appeared to them and told them that Libya was “the home of wild beasts.”
After Perseus had beheaded the Gorgon, Medusa, he flew over the Libyan desert and the drops of Medusa’s blood which fell on the sand became seeds for a brood of serpents.
