Memnon
in Greek mythology, a son of Eos (the morning) and Tithonis (= Titan, a name for the sun), represented in the legend as a son of Laomedon and brother of Priam. The famous statue called by the Greeks Memmon, in the sepulchral quarter of Thebes called Memnoneia, possessed the real or imaginary property of emitting a sound like that of a harp at the rising of the sun.
