Thebe_(daughter_of_Cilix)
Thebe (Ancient Greek: Θήβη) is a feminine name mentioned several times in Greek mythology, in accounts that imply multiple female characters, four of whom are said to have had three cities named Thebes after them:
- Thebe, daughter of Asopus and Metope,[1] who was said to have consorted with Zeus.[2] Amphion and Zethus named Boeotian Thebes[3] after her because of their kinship, the twins being sons of her sister Antiope by Zeus.
- Thebe, daughter of Zeus and Iodame, given in marriage to Ogygus.[4] She was the sister of Deucalion, otherwise unknown.[5]
- Thebe, daughter of Zeus and Megacleite[6] and sister of Locrus, the man who assisted Amphion and Zethus in the building of Thebes.[7] She later on married Zethus.
- Thebe, daughter of Prometheus, and also a possible eponym of the Boeotian Thebes.[8]
- Thebe, daughter of Cilix[9] and thus, sister of Thasus.[10] By Corybas,[9] son of Cybele, she was the possible mother of Ida who begat Minos II by King Lycastus of Crete.[11] This Thebe is possibly the eponym of Cilician Thebe.
- Thebe, eponym of Thebes, Egypt.[12] She was the daughter of either Nilus, Epaphus, Proteus, or Libys, son of Epirus;[13] rare versions of the myth make her a consort of Zeus and mother of Aegyptus[4] or Heracles.[14]
- Thebe, daughter of the Pelasgian Adramys, the eponym of Adramyttium, or of the river god Granicus. She married Heracles, who named Hypoplacian Thebes after her.[15]
- Thebe, an Amazon. [citation needed]
- Thebe, alternate name for the Titaness Phoebe.[citation needed]
