Euippe (Danaide)
Euippe ( Greek Εὐίππη ) were the names of several of the Danaids , the 50 daughters of Danaos, in Greek mythology .
The Danaids married the 50 sons of Danaos' twin brother Aigyptus , but - with the exception of Hypermnestra - killed their husbands on their wedding night . In the directory of the Danaids in the library of Apollodorus , two of them have the name Euippe: one was Danaos 'daughter of an Ethiopian woman and bride of Argios , the other Danaos' daughter of the naiad Polyxo and bride of Imbros . The Danaide named Euippe, on the list of Hyginus Mythographus , was the bride of the Egyptian Agenor .
