Diokorystes
Diokorystes ( ancient Greek Διοκορυστής Diokorystḗs ) is one of the 50 sons of Aigyptus , the twin brother of Danaos , in Greek mythology . His mother came from Arabia and had nine other sons with Aigyptos: Istros , Chalkodon , Agenor , Chaitos , Alkis , Alkmenor , Hippothoos , Euchenor and Hippolytos .
For the mass wedding of the 50 sons of Aegyptos with the 50 daughters of Danaos, at which lot decided on the pairing, Hippodameia , the daughter of either the Atlanteie or the Phoibe , was assigned to him as wife. Like the other sons of Aegyptus with the exception of Lynkeus , he was killed by his wife on their wedding night.
