Enceladus (son of Aegyptus)

In Greek mythology, Enceladus (Ancient Greek: Ἐγκέλαδος Enkélados) is a mythological Egyptian prince, one of the sons of Aegyptus.[1] He suffered the same fate as his other brothers, save Lynceus, when they were slain on their wedding night by their wives who obeyed the command of their father Danaus. Enceladus was the son of Aegyptus by Argyphia, a woman of royal blood and thus full brother of Lynceus, Proteus, Busiris, Lycus and Daiphron. He either married the Danaid Amymone[2] or Trite.[3]

Not to be confused with Enceladus (giant).
