Amyntor (son of Aegyptus)
Amyntor ( ancient Greek Ἀμύντωρ Amýntōr ) is in Greek mythology one of the 50 sons of Aegyptus , the twin brother of Danaos , who is therefore one of the Aegyptiads .
According to the poorly preserved, incomplete list of 47 of 50 Danaid pairings in the fabulae of Hyginus Mythographus , he was killed by his wife Damone on their wedding night .
