 She is generally said to be the daughter of Agenor, the Phoenician King of Tyre; the Syracusan poet Moschus makes her mother Queen Telephassa ("far-shining") but elsewhere her mother is Argiope ("white-faced").Other sources, such as the "Iliad", claim that she is the daughter of Agenor's son, the "sun-red" Phoenix.It is generally agreed that she had two brothers, Cadmus, who brought the alphabet to mainland Greece, and Cilix who gave his name to Cilicia in Asia Minor, with the author of "Bibliotheke" including Phoenix as a third.
