Cassiopeia (wife of Phoenix)

Cassiopeia (Κασσιόπεια), also Cassiepeia (Κασσιέπεια), was a daughter of Arabus and the wife of King Phoenix, according to Hesiod.[1] She is given as the mother of the hero Atymnius, by either her husband or the god Zeus. Other accounts also claim she was the mother, by Phoenix, of Phineus and Carme, although the latter is more often said to be a daughter of Eubuleus, a Cretan.
