cilix

In Greek mythology, Cilix was a son of the King of Tyre and brother of Cadmus and Europa. He father was either Agenor or Phoenix son of Agenor. (See Agenor and Phoenix.) Zeus 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 Crete. He then revealed his true identity and Europa became the first queen of Crete. Cilix, Europa's other brother, also searched for her and settled down in Asia Minor. The land was called Cilicia after him.
