Libya (Greek myth)
In Greek mythology, Libya (Ancient Greek: Λιβύη) or Libye, was a name shared by two individuals:
- Libya, was the daughter Oceanus, Titan of the sea, and Pompholyge, and the sister of Asia.[1] She may be one of the Oceanids and possibly a daughter of Tethys, the consort of Oceanus.
- Libya, an Egyptian princess as the daughter of King Epaphus. She became the mother of Belus and Agenor by Poseidon, the god of the sea.[2]
