Cycnus of Kolonai in the context of "Cobis"

In Greek mythology, Tragasus (Ancient Greek: Τράγασος) or Cragasus (Κράγασος) was the father of Philonome, the deceitful wife of Cycnus.

In Greek mythology, Polyboea (/ˌpɒlɪˈbiːə/; Ancient Greek: Πολύβοια, romanized: Polúboia, lit. 'much cattle', pronounced [polýboi̯a]), is a name that refers to:

• Polyboea, a sister of Hyacinthus who died a virgin and was believed to have been taken to Elysium by Aphrodite, Athena and Artemis, together with her brother.
• Polyboea, the first wife of Actor.
• Polyboea, daughter of Oecles and Hypermnestra, sister of Iphianeira and Amphiaraus.
• Polyboea, a handmaid of Hecuba, who found the dead body of Polydorus.
• Polyboea, an alternate name for Philonome, wife of Cycnus and stepmother of Tenes.
• Polyboea, an obscure theonym, likely an epithet of Artemis or Persephone.

In Greek mythology, several characters were known as Cycnus (Ancient Greek: Κύκνος) or Cygnus. The literal meaning of the name is "swan", and accordingly most of them ended up being transformed into swans.

• Cycnus, son of Ares.
• Cycnus, king of Kolonai. Son of Poseidon.
• Cycnus, lover of Phaethon.
• Cycnus, son of Apollo.
• Cycnus, son of King Ederion (Ancient Greek: Ἐδερίων) or Eredion of Achaea, who, in the 6th century CE account of John Malalas, seduced Leda and made her mother of triplets: the Dioscuri and Helen. In all other sources, she had these children by Zeus who approached her in the shape of a swan (kyknos). For more information, see Leda and the Swan.
• Cycnus, one of the Suitors of Penelope who came from Dulichium along with other 56 wooers. He, with the other suitors, was shot dead by Odysseus with the assistance of Eumaeus, Philoetius, and Telemachus.
• Cycnus, a blunder for Guneus in the manuscript of Hyginus (list of the Achaean leaders against Troy).

According to Pseudo-Eratosthenes and Hyginus' Poetical Astronomy, the constellation Cygnus was the stellar image of the swan Zeus had transformed into in order to seduce Leda or Nemesis. Pausanias and Servius state that Apollo turned Cycnus of Liguria into a swan after the death of his lover Phaeton, then later placed him among the stars as the constellation Cygnus.

In Greek mythology, Scamandrodice (Ancient Greek: Σκαμανδροδίκη, romanized: Skamandrodíkē, lit. 'justice of the Scamander') was the mother of King Cycnus of Colonae by the sea-god Poseidon. She abandoned her son on the seashore but he was rescued by fishermen who named him Cycnus "swan" because they saw a swan flying over him. In some accounts, the mother of Cycnus was given as Harpale or Calyce, daughter of Hecaton or lastly, an unknown Nereid.
