Messapus (Greek: Μέσσαπος, Messapos) was the ninth king of Sicyon[1] in the Peloponnesus according to classical Greek mythography. Writers quoting Castor of Rhodes state that he reigned there for 47 years following Leucippus, and before Eratus or Peratus.[2][3] The Christian chronicler Eusebius says that his reign coincided with the life of the Biblical Joseph: "During his reign Egypt was ruled by Joseph, as the Hebrews record."[1]
However, Pausanius omits this king Messapus, alleging that the throne passed directly from Leucippus, who had no male heir, to his grandson Peratus.[4]
According to Strabo, Messapio in Boeotia,[5] and later Messapia in southeastern Italy, derived their names from this Messapus.
