Leitus in the context of "Clonius"

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.

Alector (/əˈlɛktər/; Ancient Greek: Ἀλέκτωρ) refers to more than one person in classical mythology and history:

• Alector, son of Magnes and Meliboea, eponyms of Magnesia and the town of Meliboea respectively.
• Alector, the Boeotian father of Leitus. Homer calls him "Alectryon", and Diodorus "Electryon", naming him among the sons of Itonus. According to Tzetzes, Alector was also the father of Clonius, Arcesilaus and Prothoenor (his nephews according to Diodorus) by different mothers: he is said to have fathered Leitus with Polybule, Arcesilaus with Cleobule, Prothoenor with Arteis, and Clonius with Acteis.
• Alector, an Elean prince as the son of King Epeius, and brother of Hyrmine. Later on, he succeeded his father on the throne of Elis but in fear of the overlordship of King Pelops of Pisa, he summoned Phorbas from Olenus to his aid and gave his new ally a share of the kingdom. By Phorbas’ daughter, Diogeneia, Alector became father of Amarynceus.
• Alector, the Argive son of Anaxagoras and father of King Iphis of Argos.
• Alector of Sparta, son of Argeus (son of Pelops) and Hegesandra, daughter of King Amyclas. He has two brothers, Melanion and Boethoos. Alector was the father of Iphiloche (or Echemela), who married Megapenthes, son of Menelaus.

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, Phylacus (/ˈfɪləkəs/; Ancient Greek: Φύλακος means "guardian") was the name of the following figures:

• Phylacus, founder of the city of Phylace, Thessaly. He was the son of Deioneus and Diomede, husband of Clymene (Periclymene), and the father of Iphiclus, Alcimede, Evadne and possibly Clymenus. In some accounts, Phylacus was also called the father of Alcimache who became the mother of Ajax the Lesser to Oileus. His children and grandchildren are sometimes referred to by the patronymic Phylacides. His grandson through Iphiclus was also named Phylacus. In some accounts, his grandsons Protesilaus and Podarces were called his sons by Astyoche.
• Phylacus, a Trojan who was killed by Leitus.
• Phylacus, a hero who had a sanctuary in Delphi. He was one of the four heroes whose ghosts terrified the Gaulish troops that attacked Delphi.

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.

In Greek mythology, the name Cleobule, Cleoboule, Kleobule or Kleoboule (Ancient Greek: Κλεοβούλη, Kleoboúlē) or Cleobula refers to:

• Cleobule, daughter of Aeolus or Aeopolus, one of the possible mothers of Myrtilus by Hermes.
• Cleobule, wife of Aleus of Tegea, mother of Cepheus and Amphidamas.
• Cleobula, mother by Ares of Cycnus who was killed by Heracles.
• Cleobule, mother of Amphimachus by Cteatus instead of Theronice.
• Cleobule, mother of Leonteus by Coronus.
• Cleobule, daughter of Eurytus and by Tenthredon, possibly the mother of Prothous, leader of the Magnesians during the Trojan War. Otherwise, Eurymache was called the mother of the Prothous.
• Cleobule, mother of Phoenix by Amyntor. Otherwise, Hippodameia or Alcimede was called the mother). Cleobule had two other possible children by Amyntor, Asydameia and Crantor. Cleobule was jealous of Amyntor's love for his concubine, Clytie or Phthia, so she convinced her son Phoenix to sleep with her, but when Amyntor found out, he cursed Phoenix with sterility.
• Cleobule, the Boeotian mother of Leitus by Lacritus; alternately, mother of Arcesilaus by Alector (Alectryon). Otherwise, Leitus' mother was Polybule by Alector or he was an earth-born, thus a son of Gaea. Meanwhile, Arcesilaus' parents were Areilycus and Theobule.
• Cleobule, mother of the tragedian Euripides by Apollo, as stated by Hyginus. Whether this is an otherwise unknown legend or simply the result of corruption of the text is uncertain.

In Greek mythology, Lacritus (Ancient Greek: Λάκριτος) was the Boeotian father of the Argonaut Leitus and Clonius by Cleobule. Otherwise, Leitus was called the son of Alector and Polybule or simply he was an earth-born, thus a son of Gaea. Meanwhile, in some accounts, Clonius' parents was/were (1) Alegenor, or of (2) Alector and Acteis instead.
