EGEE,
Queen of the African Amazons, of whom it is related that she passed from Lybia into Asia with a powerful army, with which she made great ravages. Opposed by Laomedon, King of Troy, she set his power at defiance; and, loaded with an immense booty, was returning to her own country, when, in crossing the sea, she perished with her whole army.
