	Ninus
		Ninus, in Greek mythology, was the eponymous founder of Nineveh, and thus the city itself personified.
		He was said to have been the son of Belos[?] or Bel, to have conquered in seventeen years the whole of western Asia with the help of Ariaeus[?], king of Arabia, and to have founded the first empire.
		After the death of Ninus, Semiramis, who was accused of causing it, erected to him a temple-tomb, nine stades high and ten stades broad, near Babylon.

	Legend of Semiramis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The legendary king Ninus, a name perhaps derived from the Assyrian nunu, meaning "fish", was the son of Belus, also known as Cronus (Belus, originated from the Babylonian Bel, which evolved into the Canaanite Baal, and later identified with the Greek god Cronus).
		From the first moment that Ninus perused on her winsome face and her astonishing beauty, he had found in her a charm his heart was powerless to resist and he was half subdued already to immediately resolve to have her as his wife and queen.
		Ninus then threatened to destroy Onnes by gouging his eyes out, whereupon in fear, despair and agony, he surrendered to his kings demand and unfortunately put an end to his life by hanging himself.

	The Two Babylons: The Child in Assyria
		Ninus is said to have been the son of Belus or Bel, and Bel is said to have been the founder of Babylon.
		Thus, then, looking at the fact that Ninus is currently made by antiquity the son of Belus, or Bel, when we have seen that the historical Bel is Cush, the identity of Ninus and Nimrod is still further confirmed.
		The real reason that Semiramis, the wife of Ninus, gained the glory of finishing the fortifications of Babylon, was, that she came in the esteem of the ancient idolaters to hold a preponderating position, and to have attributed to her all the different characters that belonged, or were supposed to belong, to her husband.

		Upon the death of Belus, his uncle Ninus became king and then married his own mother who was previouly called Rhea but is now reintroduced under the name of Semiramis.

		Ninus was so charmed by her bravery and beauty, that he resolved to make her his wife, whereupon her unfortunate husband put an end to his life.

		According to another account, Semiramis had obtained from her husband permission to rule over Asia for five days, and availed herself of this opportunity to cast the king into a dungeon, or, as is also related, to put him to death, and thus obtained the sovereign power.
