Ninus
Ninus (Greek: Νίνος), according to Greek historians writing in the Hellenistic period and later, was the founder of Nineveh (also called Νίνου πόλις "city of Ninus" in Greek), ancient capital of Assyria. The figure or figures with which he corresponds in Assyrian records is uncertain; an association or identification with Ninurta has been proposed.[citation needed] An identification with Shamshi-Adad I, Shamshi-Adad V, and/or a conflation of the two have also been suggested.[1]
