Conon II°
CONON II°
CONON II ° (late first century b.c.e. and early first century c.e.), a mythographer, contemporary of King Archelaus of Cappadocia. Fragments of Conon's work have been preserved in the library of Photius. Among his tales is one linking the myth of Perseus' rescue of Andromeda with the town of Jaffa. This connection is in fact very old, and it can be traced to as early as the fourth century b.c.e. (in pseudo-Scylax).
