[1] Libya, like Ethiopia or Scythia was one of the mythic outlands that encircled the familiar Greek world of the Hellenes and their "foreign" neighbors.
Personified as an individual, Libya was the daughter of Epaphus[2][AI-generated source?
[5] Libya was ravished by the god Poseidon to whom she bore twin sons, Belus[6] and Agenor.
[8] According to late accounts, Lybee (Libya) consorted instead with Zeus and became the mother of Belus.
[10] In Hyginus' Fabulae, Libye was called the daughter of Palamedes (corrected as Epaphus), who mothered Libys by Hermes.
