[17]
Theseus afterwards received from Deucalion1 in marriage Phaedra, daughter of Minos; and when her marriage was
being celebrated, the Amazon that had before been
married to him appeared in arms with her Amazons, and threatened to kill the assembled
guests. But they hastily closed the doors and killed her. However, some say that she was
slain in battle by Theseus.

1 This Deucalion was a son of Minos and reigned after him; he was thus a brother of Phaedra. See above, Apollod. 3.1.2; Diod. 4.62.1. He is not to be confounded with the more famous Deucalion in whose time the great flood took place. See above, Apollod. 1.7.2.
