Bromius (son of Aegyptus)

In Greek mythology, Bromius (Ancient Greek: Βρομίος) was an Egyptian prince as one of the sons of King Aegyptus.[1]

Family

Bromius's mother was the naiad Caliadne and thus full brother of Eurylochus, Peristhenes, Hermus, Dryas, Phantes, Cisseus, Potamon, Lixus, Imbrus, Polyctor and Chthonius. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus,[2] or Isaie, daughter of King Agenor of Tyre.[3]
Mythology

Bromius 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 Erato, daughter of Danaus and the naiad Polyxo.[1]
