Candace of Meroë is a legendary queen of the Kingdom of Kush, with capital in Meroë. The legend says that she defeated Alexander the Great when he tried to conquer territories South of Egypt. References to this warrior queen are among the earliest made to the Nubian Kentakes. The name "Candace" is actually a form of the title "Kentake" ("Queen"), and not the actual name of a person.
