Proteus (Greek myth) in the context of "Daiphron"

In Greek mythology, Argyphia (Ancient Greek: Ἀργυφίης) was one of the multiple consorts of Aegyptus, king of Egypt. She was a woman of royal blood and by the latter became the mother of six princes: Lynceus, Proteus, Busiris, Enceladus, Lycus and Daiphron. Her sons (except Lynceus) were married and murdered by their cousin-wives, daughters of King Danaus of Libya during their wedding night. The spared prince coupled with Hypermnestra and became the ancestors of famous Argives: Acrisius, Danae, Perseus, Heracles, etc.

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 Isaie, daughter of his uncle Agenor, king of Tyre.

In Greek mythology, Elephantis (Ancient Greek: Ἐλεφαντίδος) was one of the multiple women of Danaus, king of Libya. She became the mother of two Danaides: Hypermnestra and Gorgophone. The latter married and murdered her husband Proteus during their wedding night while Hypermnestra spared the life of her spouse Lynceus. These couples then started a new line of the Argive dynasty and became the ancestors of Acrisius, Danae, Perseus, Heracles, etc.

According to Hippostratus, Danaus had all his progeny begotten by Europa, the daughter of the river-god Nilus. In some accounts, he married Melia, daughter of his uncle Agenor, king of Tyre.

In Greek mythology, Cleitus or Clitus (/ˈklaɪtəs/; Ancient Greek: Κλεῖτος or Κλειτός Kleitos meaning "renowned, famous", from kleos) may refer to:

• Cleitus, an Egyptian prince as one of the 50 sons of King Aegyptus. His mother was a Tyria and thus full brother of Sthenelus and Chrysippus. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus, or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre. Clitus 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 King Danaus of Libya. He married the Danaid Clite, daughter of Danaus and Memphis.
• Cleitus, son of Mantius, who was abducted by Eos because of his beauty. After his death, he was placed among other immortals. He was the father of Coeranus and grandfather of Polyeidos.
• Cleitus, son of Polyeidos, thus great-grandson of the precedent.
• Cleitus, suitor of Pallene, daughter of Sithon of Thrace. He eventually won Pallene's hand and inherited Sithon's kingdom.
• Cleitus, a Sithonian king whose daughter Chrysonoe or Torone married Proteus.
• Cleitus, a minstrel at the court of Priamus.
• Cleitus, a Trojan, son of Peisenor, friend of Polydamas, killed by Teucer.
• Cleitus, another Trojan, son of Agamestor and a nymph, killed by Podalirius.
