Mineus
In Greek mythology, Mineus is one of the 50 sons of Aigyptus , the twin brother of Danaos , and is therefore one of the Aigyptiads .
According to the poorly preserved, incomplete list of 47 of 50 Danaid pairings in the fabulae of Hyginus Mythographus , he was killed by his wife Myrmidone on their wedding night . The name Mineus is corrupt. Bernhard Colorful suspected lacunae in front and behind Myrmidon and suggested Oeneum instead Mineum to read, also Myrmidon to Myrmidonem and thus to make a further Aigyptiaden.
