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]
