Astypalaea
Appearance
In Greek mythology, Astypalaea (pronounced [astiˈpalea]; Ancient Greek: Ἀστυπάλαια) was the daughter of Phoenix (son of Agenor) and Perimede, daughter of Oeneus; thus she was 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]
