Alkyone (3)Alcyone

The by-name (nickname) of the daughter of Marpessa and Idas, Kleopatra (Cleopatra).

When Kleopatra was kidnapped by Apollon, Idas stood up to the god but could not save his maiden daughter.

Alkyone literally means Sea-Bird and the by-name was given to Kleopatra because her mother wailed and cried “like a sea-bird” for her kidnapped daughter’s return.
