Daedala to Dentil Molding Deo to Dysnomia
A son of Belus and a descendant of the heifer maiden, Io; Danaus and his brother Aegyptus were given Libya and Egypt to rule but Danaus fled Africa and took sanctuary in Greece where he founded the race of Greeks known as the Danaans.
When his daughters were forced to marry the sons of his brother, Aegyptus, Danaus prompted the young women to kill their husbands on their wedding night; all but one of the girls obeyed their father and stabbed their husbands to death in their wedding beds.
