These daughters wed and slayed their cousin-husbands, sons of King Aegyptus of Egypt and Hephaestine during their wedding night.[1] According to Hippostratus, Danaus had all of his progeny by a single woman, Europe, daughter of the river-god Nilus.[2] In some accounts, he married his cousin Melia, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre.[3]
