Question
The Homeric Hymn to Apollo uses the name of this figure to refer to the western shore of the Aegean Sea. It’s not Aphrodite, but Lucian of Samosata proposed this figure was the form of Astarte as the full moon citing this figure’s worship in a temple in Sidon. A region named after this figure was distinguished from Libya and a region named after an Oceanid. Asterion married this woman and two of this woman’s sons became (*) judges of the underworld. Herodotus theorized that a historical basis for this woman’s myth was a Greek act of revenge against Phoenicians for the abduction of Io. Though originally from Tyre, this mythological woman gave birth to Minos after arriving at Crete. For 10 points, Zeus took the form of a cow to abduct what woman who names a continent that includes Greece and Italy? ■END■
