Polydector
Polydector ( ancient Greek Πολυδέκτωρ Polydéktōr ) is in Greek mythology one of the 50 sons of Aigyptos , the twin brother of Danaos , and is therefore one of the Aegyptiads .
According to the traditional bad, incomplete list of 47 of 50 Danaidenpaarungen in the Fabulae of Hyginus Mythographus he was by his wife Oime killed on their wedding night. The handwritten tradition of the name of the Danaide, as reproduced in the first edition of the Fabulae by Jakob Micyllus - the underlying codex was subsequently lost - was Amoeme . Because of the similarity with the Aigyptiads Polyktor in the Danaid catalog of the library of Apollodor , Bernhard Bunte improved it accordingly, but this was not followed.
