Per discussion in-game...here's what I could find on this topic, and sources. Wasn't sure where else to put it, so move it at will, Ye Mods of Olympos
TYPHOEUS IDENTIFIED WITH THE EGYPTIAN GOD SET
Herodotus, Histories 2. 156. 1 (trans. Godley) (Greek historian C5th B.C.) :
"[Leto i.e. the Egyptian goddess Buto] taking charge of Apollo [Egyptian god Horus] from Isis, hid him for safety in this island [Khemmis (Chemmis)] which is now said to float, when Typhon [Egyptian god Set] came hunting through the world, keen to find the son of Osiris. Apollon [Horus] and Artemis [Bastet] were, they say,children of Dionysus [Egyptian Osiris] and Isis, and Leto [Egyptian Buto] was made their nurse and preserver; in Egyptian, Apollon is Horus, Demeter Isis, Artemis Bubastis."
Herodotus, Histories 2. 144. 1 :
"Before men, they said, the rulers of Aigyptos (Egypt) were gods, but none had been contemporary with the human priests. Of these gods one or another had in succession been supreme; the last of them to rule the country was Osiris' son Horus, whom the Greeks call Apollon; he deposed Typhon [Set], and was the last divine king of Aigyptos. Osiris is, in the Greek language, Dionysos."
Herodotus, Histories 3. 5. 1 :
"Now the only apparent way of entry into Aigyptos (Egypt) is this. The road runs from Phoinikia (Phoenicia, now Syria/Lebanon, the Levant) as far as the borders of the city of Kadytis (Cadytis) . . . from Ienysos as far as the Serbonian marsh, beside which the promontory Kasios (Casius) stretches seawards; from this Serbonian marsh, where Typho is supposed to have been hidden, the country is Aigyptos. Now between Ienysus and the Kasian (Casian) mountain and the Serbonian marsh there lies a wide territory for as much as three days' journey, terribly arid."
Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica 2. 1206 ff (trans. Rieu) (Greek epic C3rd B.C.) :
"Typhaon struck by his thunder-bolt, dropped warm blood from his head, and so made his way to the mountains and plain of Nysa [in Phoenicia], where he lies to this day, engulfed in the waters of the Serbonian Marsh [in Egypt]."
Suidas s.v. Osiris (trans. Suda On Line) (Byzantine Greek lexicon C10th A.D.) :
"Osiris : Some say he was Dionysos, others say another; who was dismembered by the daimon Typhon [here identified with the Egyptian god Set] and became a great sorrow for the Egyptians, and they kept the memory of his dismemberment for all time."
