in the "catalogue" and later mythographic tradition, the family of belus' brother agenor was something "like a repository for aliens and displaced persons." his son phoenix was the eponym of phoenicia, and if cepheus and cadmus were also his sons, the agenorids would have been present in aethiopia and thebes as well. by one alphesiboea phoenix sired adonis. cassiepeia bore to him phineus; she was perhaps also the mother of phoenix's daughter europa, but the girl's mother might have been telephaassa, as in moschus' "europa".
