Talithea, a legendary princess of Tyre, was the daughter of King Elissar or Heliodorus and Queen Dido. According to some sources, she was also known as 'Tanit the Fair' or 'Tanit the Beautiful'. She was famed for her extraordinary beauty and was worshipped as a goddess in the ancient city of Tyre. During the siege of Tyre by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, Talithea was offered to Alexander in the hope that he would spare the city. Alexander, however, refused the offer and continued his siege.
