A/N: This is not The Tales of version of Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods or Percy Jackson and the Greek Heroes, but rather The Tales of version of a book I got of Greek and Roman Mythology I got in Rome Italy. The settings will be after 'The Tales of the Heroes of Olympus: The Blood of Olympus' so please read that before getting in this story. Think of this story as something to pass by until The Trials of Apollo books.


Aegyptus

If Aegyptus-also known as Egyptus—sounded or look familiar, that's because Aegyptus was the ancestor of Acrisius' and Proetus' father Abas, and thus ancestor of Heracles and the original Perseus. In fact, there was even myths saying that Acrisius and Proetus were reincarnations of Aegyptus and his brother Danaus, whom—like their descendants—had a feud with each other and thus the reason behind Acrisius and Proetus' feud.

I didn't really believe in that myth because as I said in the chapter on Abas, not just anyone is judged worthy for the Isles the Bless for Reincarnation.

Anyways, Aegyptus and his brother Danaus were sons of Belus who divided his lands between his two sons. Danaus got Libya while Aegyptus got Arablia. Aegyptus aslso conquered the land of Melampodes which he renamed Egypt, after himself.

Aegyptus had fifty sons while his brother Danaus had fifty daughters. The brothers quarreled and Danaus fled to Argos.

Now here is where the feud gets tricky with involving the kids. Aegyptus' sons went to meet Danaus there and asked for permission to marry his daughters. Danaus agreed, but on the eve of the marriage, he contrived all the sons to be killed by their intended wives, with the exception of Lynceus who was spared by Hypermetras. With most of his sons dead, Aegyptus became afraid of his brother and he retired to Aroe, where he died.

I know, not very long compare to Acrisius. But keep in mind Acrisius was most likely a bigger deal to the ancient Greeks and Romans due to his role in the story of my name sake Perseus as the king who tried to prevent his own death by locking up his daughter, and when that failed due to Zeus, he tried to kill her and his grandson.

But the next name I promise is the next big deal, especially to Roman Demigods. Because not only this guy was a Trojan Hero, but the ancestor of the founders of Rome.
