Who is in unrequited love with the daughter of Egeus?
Egeus Egeus is a character in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", the comedy by William Shakespeare. He is an Athenian who tries to keep his daughter, Hermia, from marrying Lysander the man she loves. In original performances, the actor for his role probably played the part of Philostrate as well.
Phineus (son of Belus) In Greek mythology, Phineus (Greek: Φινεύς , ] ) was a son of Belus by Anchinoe and thus brother to Aegyptus, Danaus and Cepheus. He had been engaged to Cepheus' daughter Andromeda before she wed Perseus, and Phineus plotted against him, leading Perseus to turn him and his co-conspirators into stone by showing them the head of Medusa. The affair appears to have formed part of Euripides' lost "Andromeda", but the sole extensive ancient treatment is found Ovid's "Metamorphoses".
