  Aegyptus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Aegyptus, or properly Aígyptos in Greek ("supine goat"), was the king of Egypt (which took its name from his, according to folk etymology; see the article Copt), the son of Belus and father of fifty sons who were all but one murdered by the fifty daughters of Aegyptus' twin brother, Danaus.
Aegyptus commanded that his sons marry the Danaides and Danaus fled to Argos, ruled by King Pelasgus.
Aegyptus is also the Latin spelling of Egypt, and the correct denomination for the Roman province.

 DANAIDS, Greek Mythology Link.
Danaus 1 felt threatened by Aegyptus 1 and his 50 sons, and decided that he and his 50 daughters would leave Egypt and emigrate to Argos, the country of their ancestor Io.
The sons of Aegyptus 1 then demanded to be wedded to the daughters of Danaus 1, and since this offer could not be refused, Danaus 1 consented to the marriage, and allotted his daughters among them.
In this way, the sons of Aegyptus 1 got their brides by lot, while the DANAIDS got, during the wedding feast, the daggers with which they were to murder their husbands, according to their father's plan.

 The Suppliants by Aeschylus
The supplication to the father of the gods included the wish that the sons of Aegyptus might meet disaster at sea between Egypt and Argos.
In fear of being forced to marry Aegyptus' sons, the maidens also invoked the wretched Procne, who had been given in marriage to the perfidious Tereus and had taken the life of her child, ltylus, out of hatred for her husband.
The maidens express revulsion at the idea of forced marriage to their cousins, but while their resistance to marriage may seem to suggest an assertion to women's rights, this may be anachronistic interpretation.

Aegyptus had fifty sons and Danaus had fifty daughters (now what are the odds of that happening, I ask you!).
Aegyptus thought this worked out perfectly - his sons would marry Danaus' daughters (the Danaides), and their children would rule both kingdoms.
