Macĕdo
(
Μακεδών). A son of
Osiris (q.v.), and worshipped by the Egyptians, who represented him as clothed in a
wolf's skin. The hero who gave his name to
Macedonia (q.v.) was by some regarded as identical with this Egyptian, but by some was
held to be the grandson of
Deucalion (q.v.). His
name is also given as Macednus. See Apollod. iii.8.1.
