Cassiopeia (wife of Phoenix)
In Greek mythology, Cassiopeia (Κασσιόπεια), also Cassiepeia (Κασσιέπεια), was the daughter of Arabus (Arabius) and by King Phoenix of Phoenicia,[1] the mother of Phineus[2] and Carme,[3] although the latter is more often said to be a daughter of Eubuleus, a Cretan. Other sources claim that she was the mother of the hero Atymnius by her own husband[4] or by the god Zeus.[5] Anchinos was also called the son of Cassiopeia and Zeus who seduced her by changing himself into the shape of her husband Phoenix.[6]
