You are right, Ethiopia is the modern country. Thanks.

@@DrunkenGemini Well there are two versions and you are not totally wrong. It's a common mistake. Plus it helps to understand the meaning of the word Aethiopis. Aethiopis can mean different things depending were when and how you form it in a sentence. It could mean glowing/shining as someone devine as we see in mythology. It could mean someone with a dark complexion either naturally or burnt/tanned by the sun that's how we get the terminology "Burnt Face". And lastly to indicate a specific race of people and landscape as we see in history. In the 8th century BC Homer, Hesiod locate the Mythical Kingdom of Aethiopia IN the original Hellenic source is in the East where the sun rises and is closer to the land. Relating it to Eos the diety and personification of the dawn and Helios the sun. Indicating the movement of the sun. Connecting it to Oceanus aka Mediterranean Sea. Later in the 4th century BC Herodotus in his travels to Egypt coming in contact with Nubian Egyptians from the south called the Lands South of Egypt and Libya Aethiopia as a Geographical Term. And then later the Romans especially Ovid 1st century AD would reimagine romanticize and rationalize Hellenic myths in his works Metamorphosis, to bring them closer to there perspective of the world at that point of time. For example connecting Homer's 8th century BC Mythical Kingdom of Aethiopia from Hellenic Mythology with Herodotus 4th century BC Geographical Term of Aethiopia from History, giving myths a more realistic approach. The country we know today as Ethiopia was established in 1275 AD by Yekuno Amlak as the Ethiopian Empire. There never existed a Kingdom of Aethiopia in African history mythology or culture. Hope this helps. Your welcome.
