? Why were the statues of a local king named after Memnon in Egypt by the Greeks?
? Why did one statue emit a distinct sound as the sun rose, eerily backing the tradition that Memnon was literally the "son of the Sun?"
? Why have poets referred to Memnon when pondering the highest aspects of human nobility?
? Why did a group of German scientists in 1907 name a journal about the world's greatest artistic, cultural and archeological finds "Memnon?"
? Why is there a French journal today that presents studies of great archeological finds called "Memnonia?"
These are Epicological questions I have pondered and striven to answer in an Epicological fashion, through interpreting the legend. Not only about Memnon, but about many other legends I have come across in this process. So I ask you to read this epicological glossary, and this book series, and think of it as my attempt to honestly portray the accumulated legend and historiography about Africans in ancient times. Just remember, Bekerie says it is not the task of Epicology to be literally true, as in portraying a real man whose name was Memnon. What is necessary is that it be honest in portraying a legendary figure and what he has come to mean to the world-the highest aspirations of human kind.
