ANT-PEOPLE? Their eponymous ancestor was King Myrmidon of Phthia, who was a son of Zeus and "wide-ruling" Princess Eurymedousa of Phthiotis. In one account, Zeus seduced Eurymedousa in the form of an ant [4]. An etiological myth of their origins, simply expanding upon their supposed etymology—the name in Classical Greek interpreted as "ant-people," from myrmedon (Ancient Greek μῠρμηδών, murmēdṓn, plural μῠρμηδόνες, murmēdónes), which means "ant-nest"—was first mentioned by Ovid in the Metamorphoses.
