In Greek mythology, Tyro ( Ancient Greek: Τυρώ) may refer to two distinct women:
- Tyro, a Phoenician queen as the wife of King Agenor who named after her the newly-built city of Tyre. She became the mother of his sons: Cadmus, Phoenix, Syros, Cilix, and, a daughter, Europa. [1] [2] In other accounts, the spouse of Agenor was variously given as Telephassa [3], Argiope [4], Antiope [5], and Damno [6].
