From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the island in the Aegean, see Astypalaia.
In Greek mythology, Astypalaea was the daughter of Phoenix (son of Agenor) and Perimede and the sister of Europa. She was a lover of Poseidon who seduced her, and had two sons by him: Ancaeus, King of Samos, and Eurypylos, King of Kos.[1][2]
The island of Astypalaia was believed to have been named after her.[3]
