Cassus

In Greek mythology, Cassus is one of the 50 sons of Aigyptus, the twin brother of Danaus, and is therefore one of the Aigyptiads.

According to the poorly preserved, incomplete list of 47 of 50 Danaid pairings in the fabulae of Hyginus Mythographus, he was killed by his wife Helicta on their wedding night. [1] Cassus's name is as depraved as that of his wife. Bernhard Bunte suspected the Kisseus mentioned in the library of Apollodorus [2] behind the Aigyptus son. [3]
