| In Greek mythology, Aegyptus, or properly Aígyptos in Greek ("supine goat"), was the king of Egypt (which took its name from his, according to folk etymology; see the article Copt), the son of Belus and father of fifty sons who were all but one murdered by the fifty daughters of Aegyptus' twin brother, Danaus. |
| Aegyptus commanded that his sons marry the Danaides and Danaus fled to Argos, ruled by King Pelasgus. |
| Aegyptus is also the Latin spelling of Egypt, and the correct denomination for the Roman province. |
