Alector in the context of "Cleobule"

In Greek mythology, Itonus (/aɪˈtoʊnəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἴτωνος means 'willow—man'), also Itonius, may refer to two individuals:

• Itonus, king of Iton in Phthiotis and son of Amphictyon. He was married to Melanippe, a nymph, and had a son Boeotus and two daughters, Chromia and Iodame. He founded a sanctuary of Athena, where his daughter Iodame served as priestess. Itonis and Itonia, surnames of Athena, were believed to have been derived from his name. In some versions of Athena's parentage, king Itonus is the father of the goddess. According to Graves, the myth of Itonus represents a claim by the Itonians that they worshipped Athene even before the Athenians did and his name shows that she had a willow cult in Phthiotis — like that of her counterpart, the goddess Anatha, at Jerusalem until Jehovah's priests ousted her and claimed the rain—making willow as his tree at the Feast of Tabernacles.
• Itonus, also the name of the son of another Boeotus (the son of Poseidon). He was the father of Electryon, Hippalcimus, Archilycus (Areilycus) and Alegenor; his grandsons were the Trojan War heroes Leitus, Peneleos, Prothoenor, Arcesilaus and Clonius.

In Greek mythology, Archilycus (Ancient Greek: Ἀρχίλυκον) or Areilycus, was the father of Archesilaus and Prothoenor (by Theobula), who were the leaders of the Boeotians in the expedition against Troy. His father was Itonus, son of Boeotus while his brothers were Hippalcimus, Electryon, and Alegenor.

In Greek mythology, Prothoenor (Ancient Greek: Προθοήνωρ) was one of the Greek leaders in the Trojan War, from Thespiae in Boeotia, son of Areilycus (Archilycus) and Theobule, brother of Arcesilaus; he commanded eight ships. In one account, Prothoenor was the son of Alector and Arteis, and thus a half-brother of Leitus and Clonius. According to the Iliad, he was killed by Polydamas, who immediately began to boast about it.

Arcesilaus (Ancient Greek: Ἀρκεσίλαος) in Greek mythology, was a son of Lycus (or Areilycus) and Theobule, brother of Prothoenor, and was the leader of the Boeotians in the Trojan War. He led his people to Troy in ten ships, and was slain by Hector.

In one source though, this Arcesilaus is called a son of Alector and Cleobule, and thus half-brother to Leitus and Clonius. He was killed by Hector. Leitus brought his remains back to Boeotia and buried them near Lebadea, on the banks of River Hercyna.

In Greek mythology, the name Clonius (/ˈkloʊniəs/; Ancient Greek: Κλονίος, Kloníos) may refer to:

• Clonius, one of the Achaean leaders in the Trojan War, son of either Alegenor, or of Alector and Acteis, or of Lacritus and Cleobule, and in the latter case brother of Leitus; he came from Boeotia and commanded nine ships. He was killed by Agenor.
• Clonius, an illegitimate son of Priam.
• Clonius, a companion of Aeneas, who was killed by Turnus.
• Clonius, another companion of Aeneas, who was killed by Messapus.
• Clonius, a defender of Thebes in the war of the Seven against Thebes, killed by Tydeus.

In Greek mythology, Hegesandra (Ancient Greek: Ή γησάνδρας) or Hegesandre (Ήγησάνδρην) was a Spartan princess as the daughter of King Amyclas. Hegesandra married Argeius, son of King Pelops of Pisa. The couple had three sons: Melanion, Alector and Boethoos.

In Greek mythology, Meliboea /ˌmɛlɪˈbiːə/ or Meliboia (Ancient Greek: Μελίβοια) was a name attributed to the following individuals:

• Meliboea, daughter of the Titan Oceanus possibly by his sister-wife Tethys. She was the Oceanid who became the mother of King Lycaon of Arcadia with Pelasgus. She was also loved by the river god Orontes, who stopped his waters out of love for her, flooding the land.
• Meliboea, mother of Alector by Magnes, who named the town of Meliboea in Thessaly after her. The town of Meliboea became a kingdom in eastern Thessalia (north Magnesia). Nowadays, Meliboea (Melivoia) is a municipality of Larissa regional unit. The exact place of ancient Meliboia is not known.
• Meliboea, alias Chloris of Thebes, the only Niobid spared when Artemis and Apollo killed the rest. She was so horrified at the sight of her siblings' deaths that she stayed greenishly pale for the rest of her life, and for that reason she was dubbed Chloris ("the pale one").
• Meliboea, a maiden of Ephesus. She loved a young man named Alexis, but her parents betrothed her to another man, and Alexis had to leave the city. By divine intervention she was carried to the place where Alexis lived. The reunited lovers dedicated two temples to Aphrodite.
• Meliboea, mother of Phellus, according to Hesiod. Both mother and son are otherwise unknown.
• Meliboea is also an alternate name for Periboea or Eriboea, mother of Ajax the Great, who was also said to have been married to Theseus.

In Greek mythology, Polybule was the Boeotian mother of the Argonaut Leitus by Alector. Alternatively, Leitus parents were identified to be Lacritus and Cleobule or an earth-born, thus a son of Gaea.
