The mother of Britomartis who was born in Crete and fathered by Zeus. She is said to have been the daughter of Eubouleus, the son of Caramanor. Other writers make her the daughter of Phoenix, one of the sons of Agenor and of Cassiopea (Table 3). She is said to have been taken to Megara as a prisoner in her old age and to have been made nurse to Scylla, the daughter of King Nisus.
