Dolichus (son of Aegyptus)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dolichos ( ancient Greek Δόλιχος Dólichos ) is one of the 50 sons of Aigyptos , the twin brother of Danaos , in Greek mythology , and is therefore one of the Aegyptiads .

According to the traditional bad, incomplete list of 47 of 50 Danaidenpaarungen in the Fabulae of Hyginus Mythographus he was by his wife Pirene killed on their wedding night. The author of the library of Apollodorus , however, lets Pirene (Peirene) be married to Agaptolemus .
