In Greek mythology, Phoenix or Phoinix (Ancient Greek: Φοῖνιξ Phoinix, gen.: Φοίνικος means "sun-red") is the eponym of Phoenicia who together with his brothers were tasked to find their abducted sister Europa. The search was unsuccessful; Phoenix eventually settled in a country in Asia which he named Phoenicia after himself.
Veel verschillende interpretaties
Phoenix was a son of King Agenor[1][2][3] of Tyre by either Telephassa,[4] Argiope,[5] Antiope,[6] Damno[7] or Tyro.[8][9] He was the brother of Europa,[10][11][12] Cadmus,[13] Cilix,[14] Syros,[15] Isaia and Melia.[16]
In some accounts, Phoenix's father was called King Belus of Egypt and sibling to Agenor, Phineus, Aegyptus, Danaus[17] and Ninus.[18] In the latter's version of the myth, Phoenix' mother could be identified as Achiroe, naiad daughter of the river-god Nilus.[19]
Phoenix was believed to have fathered a number of children with different women. By Cassiopeia, Phoenix had a daughter, Carme,[20] and three sons:[21] Cilix,[22] Phineus,[23][24][25] and Doryclus, as well as a stepson Atymnius, whose natural father was Zeus;[26] by Alphesiboea, he had Adonis.[3][27][28] Phoenix was also credited as the father of Cepheus, king of Ethiopia, whose wife was another Cassiopeia.[29]
According to early accounts, Europa was not Phoenix's sister, but his daughter,[30][31][32] while Cadmus was identified as his son.[33] Otherwise, Europa was called one of his two daughters by Perimede, daughter of Oeneus, the other one being Astypalaea;[34] she was also included on the list of Phoenix's children by Telephe, her siblings in this case being Peirus, Phoenice, and Astypale (apparently identical to the aforementioned Astypalaea).[35]
Telephe, daughter of Epimedusa, was probably the same as Telephassa, whom Moschus called Phoenix's wife and not his mother.[36] In another account, his children were Cadmus, Europa and Thasus.[37]
