Encyclopedic overview
Menelik I (Ge'ez: ምኒልክ, Mənilək) was the first Emperor of Ethiopia's Solomonic dynasty. According to the Kebra Nagast, a 14th-century national epic, in the 10th century BC he is said to have inaugurated the Solomonic dynasty of Ethiopia, so named because Menelik I was the son of the biblical King Solomon of ancient Israel and of Makeda, the Queen of Sheba.
