Libya

In Greek mythology, Libya (Ancient Greek: Λιβύη) or Libye, was a name shared by two individuals:

Libya, was the daughter Oceanus, Titan of the sea, and Pompholyge, and the sister of Asia.[1] She may be one of the Oceanids and possibly a daughter of Tethys, the consort of Oceanus.
Libya, an Egyptian princess as the daughter of King Epaphus. She became the mother of Belus and Agenor by Poseidon, the god of the sea.[2]
