Dolichus (ancient Greek Δόλιχος Dólichos) is in Greek mythology one of the 50 sons of Aegyptus, the twin brother of Danaus, and is therefore one of the Aegyptiads.
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 Pirene on their wedding night. [1] The author of the library of Apollodorus, however, lets Pirene (Peirene) be married to Agaptolemus. [2]
