Nomenclature

  • Named for Epigenes of Byzantium (unknown-circa 200 BC), a Greek astrologer. He seems to have been strong supporter of astrology, which, though derided by many Greek intellectuals, had been accepted and adopted by many Greeks from the seventh century BC through commercial contact with the Chaldeans of Babylonia.
