In H. J. Rose's 1934 edition of the Fabulae (2nd century AD), Metus is the son of the sea god Neptune and Melite, daughter of the Egyptian king Busiris.[1] In Peter K. Marshall's 2002 edition of the work, this figure is given as Amykos and his mother's name as Melie.[2] The former reading comes from the F manuscript of the Fabulae, and the latter from Daniel Heinsius's edition.[3]
