Cassiopeia (wife of Phoenix)
In Greek mythology, Cassiopeia (Κασσιόπεια), also Cassiepeia (Κασσιέπεια), was a daughter of Arabus (Arabius) and the wife of King Phoenix. She was the mother, by Phoenix, of Phineus[1] and Carme[2], although the latter is more often said to be a daughter of Eubuleus, a Cretan. Other sources, claims that she was the mother of the hero Atymnius by her own husband[3] or by the god Zeus.[4]
