Asterios (son of Aigyptus)
Asterios ( ancient Greek Ἀστέριος Astérios ) is in Greek mythology one of the 50 sons of Aigyptus , 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 Kleio on their wedding night .
