Agenor

[5] Agenor was born in Memphis, Egypt to Poseidon and Libya[6] and he had a twin brother named Belus.

[10] Sources differed also as to Agenor's children; he was said to have been the father of Europa,[11] Cadmus,[12] Cilix,[13] Phoenix,[14] Phineus,[15] Thasus[16] and sometimes, Syros[17] and Cepheus.

[18] Agenor's wife was variously given as Telephassa,[19] Argiope,[20][21] Antiope,[22] and Tyro,[23] with the latter giving her name to the city of Tyre.

[24] Either Cadmus or Europa were confirmed as children of Phoenix by the Ehoeae attributed to Hesiod,[25] Bacchylides,[26] Moschus[27] and various scholia.

Whether he was included as a brother of Agenor or as a son, his role in mythology was limited to inheriting his father's kingdom and to becoming the eponym of the Phoenicians.

[32] Zeus saw Agenor's daughter Europa gathering flowers and immediately fell in love with her.

According to the chronicler Malalas, when Agenor was about to die, he ordered that all the land he had conquered be divided among his three sons.

[37] Quintus Curtius Rufus considered Agenor to have been the founder of Sidon, and he was also popularly supposed to have introduced the Phoenician alphabet, which was later taught by Cadmus to the Greeks and became the foundation of their own writing system.
