Daiphron (son of Aegyptus)
Daïphron ( ancient Greek Δαΐφρων Daḯphrōn ) is one of the 50 sons of Aigyptus , the twin brother of Danaos , in Greek mythology . His mother was Argyphie , with whom Aigyptus had five other sons: Lynkeus , Proteus , Enkelados , Busiris and Lykos .
For the mass wedding of the 50 sons of Aegyptos with the 50 daughters of Danaos, at which the lot decided on the pairing, he was assigned Skaia , the daughter of Europe , as wife. Like his other brothers with the exception of Lynkeus, he was killed by his wife on their wedding night.
