Europa: A Phoenician Princess
She was originally a Phoenician princess, the daughter of King Agenor and Queen Telephassa of Tyre (modern-day Lebanon) [coordinates n="33.2707" e="35.2033" z="6"].
The poet Moschus mentions her mother as Queen Telephassa ("far-shining"), while other versions cite Argiope ("silver-faced") as her mother.
