(Apollod. iii. 1. § 1; Mosch. ii. 7; Herod, i. 173; Paus. vii. 4. § 1, ix. 19. § 1; Ov. Met. ii. 839, &amp;c.; Comp. Agenor.) Europe, as a part of the world, was believed to have received its name from this fabulous Phoenician princess. (Hom. Hymn. in Apoll. 251; Herod, iv. 45.) There are two other mythical personages of this name (Hes. Theog. 357; Pind. Pyth. iv. 46.), which occurs also as a surname of Demeter. (Pans. ix. 39. § 4.)
