Gorgo (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Gorgo (Ancient Greek: Γοργόνος) was one of the multiple women of Aegyptus, king of Egypt. By the latter, she became the mother six princes: Periphas, Oeneus, Aegyptus, Menalces, Lampus and Idmon. Her sons were wed and slayed by their cousin-wives, daughters of King Danaus of Libya and Pieria during their wedding night.

According to Hippostratus, Aegyptus had his progeny by a single woman called Eurryroe, daughter of the river-god Nilus. In some accounts, he consorted with his cousin Isaia, daughter of Agenor, king of Tyre.
