Sesostris (Greek: Σέσωστρις) is the name of a legendary king of ancient Egypt who, according to Herodotus, led a military expedition into parts of Europe. Tales of Sesostris are probably based on the life of Senusret I, Senusret III and perhaps other Pharaohs such as Shoshenq I[1] and Ramesses II.[2]
Sesostris' name is also given as Sesoösis or Sesonchosis in other sources.[1]
