NINUS

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 706 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NINUS , in
Greek
 
mythology
 , the eponymous founder of Nineveh (q.v.), and thus the
city
  itself personified. He was said to have been the son of Belos or Bel, to have conquered in seventeen years the whole of western
Asia
  with the help of Ariaeus, king of Arabia, and to have founded the first
empire
 . During the siege of Bactra he met Semiramis, the wife of one of his
officers
 , Onnes, whom he took from her
husband
  and married. The
fruit
  of the
marriage
  was Ninyas, i.e. " The Ninevite." After the death of Ninus, Semiramis, who was accused of causing it, erected to him a temple-
tomb
 , nine stades high and ten stades broad, near Babylon. According to Castor (ap. Syncell. p. 167) his reign lasted fifty-two years, its commencement falling 2189 B.C. according to Ctesias. Another Ninus is described by some authorities as the last king of Nineveh, successor of Sardanapalus.
See J. Gilmore, Fragments of the Persika of Ktesias (1888).
