Telephassa

The wife of Agenor, and mother of Europa, Cadmus, Phoenix, and Cilix. She, with her sons, went out in search of Europa, who had been carried off by Zeus; but she died on the expedition, and was buried by Cadmus.

Moschus1 calls her the wife of Phoenix, the son of Agenor, and the Scholiast on Euripides2 calls her Telephe.
