In
Greek mythology, Sthenelus (/ˈsθɛnələs,ˈstɛn-/;
Ancient Greek: Σθένελος Sthénelos, "strong one" or "forcer", derived from sthenos "strength, might, force") was a name attributed to several different individuals:
Sthenelus, an
Egyptian prince as one of the 50
sons of King
Aegyptus.[4] His mother was a
Tyria and thus full brother of
Clitus and
Chrysippus. In some accounts, he could be a son of Aegyptus either by
Eurryroe, daughter of the
river-godNilus,[5] or
Isaie, daughter of King
Agenor of
Tyre.[6] 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
DanaidSthenele, daughter of Danaus and
Memphis.[4]
