The term "canopic jars" refers to the mistaken association by early Egyptologists with the Greek legend of Canopus, the pirate of the ship of Menelaus of Sparta, who, according to legend, was bitten by a serpent when visiting the coasts of Egypt. His master then erected a monument to him at the mouth of the River Nile.
