Modern representation of the geography in Herodotus's Histories, showing the area of Libya in north Africa, circa 450 BC
Libya, Libye, Lybie or Lybee (Ancient Greek: Λιβύη, romanized: Libúē or Libýē or Λυβίη, Lybiē) was the daughter of Epaphus, King of Egypt, in both Greek and Roman mythology. She personified the land of Ancient Libya in North Africa, and was considered by the Greeks to be the origin of the name of what is now Libya.
