Thasus

Phoenician figure in Greek mythology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Thasus or Thasos (/ˈθsəs/ or /ˈθzəs/; Ancient Greek: Θάσος) was a son of Poseidon[1] (or, in other versions, Agenor,[2] Phoenix[3] or Cilix[4]). He was a Phoenician prince and one of those who set out from Phoenicia in search of Europa (Thasus' sister[3]). His brother, Cadmus, gave him a part of the army and left him on an island (Thasos) where he "founded" the eponymous town of Thasos.[5]
