Antimachus (son of Aegyptus)
Antimachos ( ancient Greek Ἀντίμαχος Antímachos ) is in Greek mythology one of the 50 sons of Aegyptus , the twin brother of Danaos , and 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 Midea (Idaia?) On their wedding night .
