Sources differ in details regarding Europa's family, but agree that she is Phoenician, and from a lineage that descended from Io, the mythical nymph beloved of Zeus, who was transformed into a heifer.
She is said to be the daughter of the Phoenician King Agenor and Queen Telephassa ("far-shining") or of Argiope ("white-faced").
Other sources, such as the Iliad, claim that she is the daughter of Agenor's son, the "sun-red" Phoenix.

They thought it strange to behold a woman in the garb of a queen(for Telephassa in her haste had forgotten to take off her crownand her royal robes), roaming about the country, with four lads around her, on such an errand as this seemed to be.
So comfortable and home-like did it seem, that Telephassa and her three companions could not help sighing, to think that they must still roam about the world, instead of spending the remainder of their lives in some such cheerful abode as they had here built for Phoenix.
Telephassa and Cadmus were now pursuing their weary way, with no companion but each other.
