Apollodorus lists Agave third among the daughters of Danaus borne on Europe, after Automate and Amymone. When the sons of Egyptus by Argyphia cast lots for the Europe maidens, Lycus drew Agave. On the wedding night she received her father's dagger and, like her sisters, slew her bridegroom — Hyginus counts her among the brides who obeyed Danaus.2
