{{Other uses|Busiris (disambiguation){{!}}Busiris}}In Greek mythology, Busiris (Ancient Greek: Βούσιρις) was the name shared by two figures: - Busiris, an Egyptian prince as one of the Sons of Aegyptus. He 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 Danaus. Busiris was the son of Aegyptus by Argyphia, a woman of royal blood and thus full brother of Lynceus, Proteus, Enceladus, Lycus and Daiphron. He married the Danaid Automate.[1][2]
- Busiris, a king of Egypt, who used to sacrifice strangers and was killed by Heracles.[3]

2. ^"Clearly this former Busiris, for whom a different fate lies in store, is not to be identified with Heracles' adversary," Neall Livingstone remarks (2001:86); he notes, however, that Aegyptus is the son of Belus, who is given the same genealogy as that which Isocrates gives Busiris: a son of Poseidon and Libya, a personification of Libya.
