Plexippus (son of Aegyptus)

Plexippos ( ancient Greek Πληξίππος Plēxíppos , Latin Plexippus ) is the name of two sons of Aigyptus , the twin brother of Danaos , in Greek mythology , who therefore belong to the Aegyptiads .

According to the poorly preserved, incomplete list of 47 of 50 sons in the fabulae of Hyginus Mythographus , they were killed by their wives, the Danaids Pyrantis and Amphicomone , on their wedding night .
