Euchenor (son of Aegyptus)
Euchenor ( ancient Greek Εὐχήνωρ Euchḗnor ) is one of the 50 sons of Aegyptus , the twin brother of Danaos , in Greek mythology . His mother came from Arabia and had nine other sons with Aigyptus: Istros , Chalkodon , Agenor , Chaitos , Diokorystes , Alkis , Alkmenor , Hippothoos 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, he was assigned Iphimedusa , the daughter of either the Atlanteie or the Phoibe , as wife. Like the other sons of Aegyptus with the exception of Lynkeus , he was killed by his wife on their wedding night.
