Philinos (son of Aegyptus)

In Greek mythology, Philinus is one of the 50 sons of Aegyptus , the twin brother of Danaos , and is therefore one of the Aegyptiads .

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 Phila on their wedding night . The handwritten tradition of the name, as it is reproduced in the first edition of the Fabulae by Jakob Micyllus - the underlying codex was subsequently lost - was Philinas for the Aegyptiad and Philea for his wife. The usual reading today goes back to Herbert Jennings Rose .
