Aegyptus (mythology) in the context of Gorgo (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Gorgo (Ancient Greek: Γοργώ, romanizedGorgṓ) can refer to the following individuals:

  • Gorgo, one of the multiple women of Aegyptus, king of Egypt. By the latter, she became the mother of six princes: Periphas, Oeneus, Aegyptus, Menalces, Lampus and Idmon. Her sons were wed and slayed by their cousin-wives, daughters of King Danaus of Libya and Pieria during their wedding night. According to Hippostratus, Aegyptus had his progeny by a single woman called Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus. In some accounts, he consorted with his cousin Isaia, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre.
  • Gorgo, a Cretan woman, wooed by many men, among them her kinsman Asander, who had lost all his wealth. During his funeral she looked out of the window to get a glimpse, and was turned into stone, paralleling the Cypriot myths of Arsinoë and Anaxarete.
