Cleopatra (Ancient Greek: Κλεοπάτρα Kleopatra; "Glory of the father") in Greek mythology was the name of two Danaides of altogether 50 daughters of Danaus sired with different women.
Each of the two Cleopatras married – like all their sisters – one of the 50 sons of Danaus’ twin brother Aegyptus.
One Cleopatra, whose mother was a hamadryad (Atlantia or Phoebe), married Agenor,[1] and the other Cleopatra, the daughter of the naiad Polyxo, married Hermus.
[2] Like all Danaides – except Hypermnestra – both Cleopatras killed their husbands on their wedding night.
