Homer (c. 800 BCE) is the first to mention "Aethiopians" (Αἰθίοπας); he mentions that they are to be found at the southern extremities of the world, divided by the sea into "eastern" (at the sunrise) and "western" (at the sunset). The Greek poets Hesiod (c. 700 BCE) and Pindar (c. 450 BCE) speak of Memnon as the "king of Aethiopia", and further state that he founded the city of Susa (in Elam).
