Antiope (mythology)
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, the naiad daughter of the river-god Nilus.[2] She was the sister of Agenor II,[3] Phineus, Aegyptus, Danaus, Cepheus and Ninus. By her uncle, King Agenor I[3] of Tyre, Antiope became the mother of Cadmus and his siblings.[4] In some accounts, this daughter of Belus was called Damno.[5] Otherwise, the spouse of Agenor was variously given as Telephassa,[6] Argiope[7] or Tyro.[8][9]
- Antiope, daughter of Aeolus, by whom Poseidon begot Boeotus and Hellen (Aeolus).[10] She was also called Arne[11] or Melanippe,[12] 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.[13]
- Antiope, consort of Helios and possible mother of Aeetes and Aloeus.[14]
- Antiope, sister of Hippolyte, kidnapped by Theseus during Heracles' ninth labour.[15]
- Antiope, mother of Amphion by Zeus, associated with the mythology of Thebes, Greece.[16]
- Antiope, also called Antioche,[17] daughter of Pylon and wife of Eurytus.[18]
- Antiope, a Thespian princess as one of the 50 daughters of King Thespius and Megamede[19] or by one of his many wives.[20] When Heracles hunted and ultimately slayed the Cithaeronian lion,[21] Antiope with her other sisters, except for one,[22] all laid with the hero in a night,[23] a week[24] or for 50 days[25] as what their father strongly desired it to be.[26] Antiope bore Heracles a son, Alopius.[27]
- Antiope, wife of Laocoön.[citation needed]
