The remaining forty-nine Danaides had their grooms chosen by an unusual method. A foot-race was held and the order in which the potentials finished decided their wives.
According to some authors, Danaus had another daughter: Amymone
Danaus, possibly the same as the one above, had three daughters, Ialysa, Kamira and Linda, who were worshipped on Rhodes, where he stopped and founded a sanctuary to Athena on the way from Libya to Greece.
