Hippolytus (son of Aegyptus)
Hippolytos ( ancient Greek Ἱππόλυτος Hippólytos ) is one of the 50 sons of Aigyptos , 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 Euchenor .
For the mass wedding of the 50 sons of Aegyptos with the 50 daughters of Danaos, at which lot decided on the pairing, Rhode , the daughter of either the Atlanteie or the Phoibe , was assigned as his wife. Like the other sons of Aegyptus with the exception of Lynkeus , he was killed by his wife on their wedding night.
