The Ancient Greek language is the historical stage in the development of the Hellenic language family spanning the Archaic (c Greek mythology is the body of stories belonging to the ancient Greeks concerning their gods and Heroes the nature of the world and the origins and significance In Greek mythology, Pandareus (Πανδαρεύς was the son of Clymene and Merops. Ephesus ( Hittite Apasa; Ancient Greek; Turkish Efes) was a city of ancient Anatolia. According to Homer she was the wife of Zethus, and the mother of Itylus. Amphion and Zethus (also Zethos) in ancient Greek mythology, were the twin sons of Zeus by Antiope. "Itylos" redirects here For the Gossamer-winged butterfly Genus, see Itylos (butterfly. [1]
Envious of Niobe, the wife of her brother Amphion, who had six sons and six daughters, she formed the plan of killing the eldest of Niobe's sons, but by mistake slew her own son Itylus. Niobe (Νιόβη was the daughter of the semi-legendary ruler Tantalus, called the " Phrygian " and sometimes even as "King of Phrygia This article is about Amphion in Greek and mythology For naval vessels named Amphion see HMS Amphion, Swedish Amphion and USS Amphion, and for speakers Zeus relieved her grief by changing her into a nightingale, whose melancholy tunes are represented by the poet as Aëdon's lamentations about her child.

According to a later tradition preserved in Antoninus Liberalis,[3] Aëdon is instead the wife of Polytechnos, an artist of Colophon. Antoninus Liberalis was an Ancient Greek Grammarian who probably flourished between AD 100 and 300. Colophon ( Greek) was a city in the region of Lydia in antiquity dating from about the turn of the first millennium-BC The couple boasted that they loved each other more than Hera and Zeus. In the Olympian pantheon of classical Greek Mythology, Hera (ˈhɪərə or /ˈhɛrə/ Greek) or Here ( in Ionic and Homer Zeus (zjuːs in Greek: nominative: Zeús /zdeús/ genitive: Diós; Modern Greek /'zefs/ in Greek mythology Hera sent Eris to cause trouble between the two of them. Eris ( Greek Ἔρις, "Strife" is the Greek Goddess of strife her name being translated into Latin as Discordia Polytechnus was then making a chair, and Aëdon a piece of embroidery, and they agreed that whoever should finish the work first should receive from the other a female slave as the prize. Embroidery is the Art or Handicraft of decorating fabric or other Materials with designs stitched in strands of thread or Polytechnos was furious when Aëdon (with Hera's help) won. He went to Aëdon's father, and pretending that his wife wished to see her sister Chelidonis, he took her with him. On his way home he raped her, dressed her in slave's attire, commanded her to silence, and gave her to his wife as the promised prize. Rape, also referred to as Sexual assault, is an Assault by a person involving Sexual intercourse with or Sexual penetration of another person After some time Chelidonis, believing herself unobserved, lamented her own fate, but she was overheard by Aëdon, and the two sisters conspired against Polytechnus for revenge. They murdered Polytechnos' son Itys and served him up as a meal to his father. In Greek mythology, Philomela (Φιλομήλα was a daughter of Pandion I ( King of Athens) and Zeuxippe, and a sister of Procne
Aëdon then fled with Chelidonis to her father, who, when Polytechnos came in pursuit of his wife, had him bound, smeared with honey, and exposed to the insects. Aëdon now took pity upon the sufferings of her husband, and when her relations were on the point of killing her for this weakness, Zeus changed Polytechnos into a pelican, the brother of Aëdon into a whoop, her father into a sea-eagle, Chelidonis into a swallow, and Aëdon herself into a nightingale. A pelican is a large water Bird with a distinctive pouch under the beak belonging to the Bird family Pelecanidae. The swallows and martins are a group of Passerine Birds in the family Hirundinidae which are characterised by their adaptation to aerial The Nightingale ( Luscinia megarhynchos) also known as Rufous and Common Nightingale, is a small Passerine Bird that was formerly This myth seems to have originated in mere etymologies, and is of the same class as that about Philomela and Procne.
