Antiope (Greek myth)
In Greek mythology, Antiope /ænˈtaɪ.əpi/ or Antiopa (Ancient Greek: Ἀντιόπη derived from αντι anti "against, compared to, like" and οψ ops "voice" or means "confronting"[1]) may refer to the following
- Antiope, daughter of King Belus of Egypt and possibly, Achiroe, naiad daughter of the river-god Nilus. She was the sister of Agenor II,[2] Phineus, Aegyptus, Danaus, Cepheus and Ninus. By her uncle, King Agenor I[2] of Tyre, Antiope became the mother of Cadmus and his siblings.[3] In some accounts, this daughter of Belus was called Damno.[4]
- Antiope, daughter of Aeolus, by whom Poseidon begot Boeotus and Hellen (Aeolus).[5] She was also called Arne[6] or Melanippe,[7] in some accounts.
- Antiope, nymph of Pieria and the mother, by Pierus, of the Pierides, nine sisters who challenged the muses and, on their defeat, were turned into birds.[8]
- Antiope, consort of Helios and possible mother of Aeetes and Aloeus.[9]
- Antiope, sister of Hippolyte, kidnapped by Theseus during Heracles' ninth labour.[10]
- Antiope, mother of Amphion by Zeus, associated with the mythology of Thebes, Greece.[11]
- Antiope, also called Antioche,[12] daughter of Pylon and wife of Eurytus.[13]
- Antiope, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[14] or by one of his many wives.[15] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[16] Antiope with her other sisters, except for one,[17] all laid with the hero in a night,[18] a week[19] or for 50 days[20] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[21] Antiope bore Heracles a son, Alopius.[22]
