In history and Greek mythology, Agenor (which means "very manly") was a king of Tyre. His wife was Telephassa.
Some sources state that Agenor was the son of Poseidon and Libya; these accounts refer to a brother named Belus. According to other sources, he was the son of Belus and Anchinoe .
Sources differ also as to Agenor's children; he is sometimes said to have been the father of Cadmus, Europa, Cilix, Phoenix, and Thasus . Some sources state that Phoenix was Agenor's brother (and Belus' son); and it was Phoenix who was the father of these individuals.
In the Iliad (14.321–22) Europa is clearly a daughter of Phoenix. Either Cadmus or Europa are confirmed as children of Phoenix by the Ehoeae attributed to Hesiod and by Bacchylides and by various scholiae. Cilix and Phineus are also sons of Phoenix according to PherecydesPherecydes (in Greek: ) was the name of: Pherecydes of Syros, a pre-Socratic philosopher and author from the island of Syros, by some believed to have influenced Pythagoras Pherecydes of Leros, an historian and mythologic writer from the island of Leros c (3F86) who also adds an otherwise unknown son named Doryclus.
But most of our later sources make Cadmus and Cilix sons of Agenor directly without Phoenix intervening. If mentioned at all, Phoenix is their brother.
It really doesn't matter much. Even when Phoenix appears as Cadmus' brother he has no role to play other than eventually somehow ending up as heir to his father to become eponym of the PhoeniciaPlease see the article's for more information. Phoenicia was an ancient civilization with its heartland along the coastal plain of what is now Lebanon and Syria. Phoenician civilization was an enterprising maritime trading culture that spread right acrossns. All accounts agree on a Phoenician king who has several children, including the two sons named Cadmus and Cilix and a daughter named Europa.
ZeusZeus Kronios (descendant of Cronus), or simply Zeus or Zdeus ( Greek ) or Dias (Greek ) ("divine king") is the leader of the gods and god of the sky and thunder in Greek mythology. Etymology Zeus is the continuation of Dyeus, the supreme god in Indo-Europ saw Europa gathering flowers and immediately fell in love with her. Zeus transformed himself into a white bull and carried Europa away to the island of CreteCrete sometimes spelled Krete (Greek Kappa;ρτ&eta / Kriti) is the largest of the Greek islands and the fifth largest in the Mediterranean Sea. It is the Greek island closest to North Africa. Tourist attractions in Crete include archeological sites. He then revealed his true identity and Europa became the first queen of Crete. Europa's father, meanwhile, sent Europa's brothers, Cadmus and Cilix in search of her along with other brothers in some versions: PhineusIn Greek mythology, Phineus was a nobleman who was betrothed to Andromeda. She was to be sacrificed to a sea monster but was rescued by Perseus, who married her and then turned Phineus to stone at the wedding party, using the head of Medusa. or Thasus (and of course Phoenix in the versions where the Cadmus' father is Agenor).So Cadmus went on a quest to find his disappeared sister.

He was to follow this cow and to found a city where the cow would lie down; this city became Thebes.
Cilix searched for her and settled down in Asia Minor. The land was called Cilicia after him.
It is thought that the name Agenor may represent an unknown name by which the Phoenicians called themselves, perhaps related to Canaan.
