Wife of Phoenix
There was another Cassiopeia in Greek mythology; her name is also given as "Cassiepeia"; according to Hesiod, this Cassiopeia was the wife of King Phoenix. She is given as the mother of the hero Atymnius, by either her husband or the god Zeus. Other accounts also claim she was the mother, by Phoenix, of Phineus and Carme, although the latter is more often said to be a daughter of Eubuleus, a Cretan.

Famous quotes containing the words wife and/or phoenix:
“When my old wife lived, upon
This day she was both pantler, butler, cook,
Both dame and servant, welcomed all, served all,
Would sing her song and dance her turn, now here
At upper end o’the table, now i’the middle,
On his shoulder, and his, her face afire
With labor, and the thing she took to quench it
She would to each one sip.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A victorious tomcat is like a tiger; a plucked phoenix is not worth a chicken.”
—Chinese proverb.
