Meaning:*
The origin of this name is still quite uncertain today. The theories include: 1) from the Hebrew name “pı̂ynechâs > Pinəḥas,” meaning “mouth of brass, some believe it means serpent’s mouth.” 2) from the Egyptian “Pa-nehasi,” meaning “the black” or “the Nubian.” Several different versions of Phineus’s parentage were presented in ancient texts. 1) The son of Agenor and Cassiopeia. Son of Agenor, who, like his brother Phoenix, Cadmus, Thassos, and Cilice, left his Phoenician homeland searching for his sister Europe, who had been kidnapped by the god Zeus. 2) King of Salmydessus in Thrace and seer who appears in accounts of the Argonauts’ voyage. Some reports make him a king in Paphlagonia or Arcadia. 3) Son of Belo and Anchinoe, therefore a descendant of Poseidon, and brother of Danao, Egypt, and Cepheus.
