Elektra (daughter of Atlas)
Elektra ( Greek Ἠλέκτρα ) was a daughter of Atlas and Pleione and thus one of the seven Pleiades . Through Zeus she became the mother of Iasion , Dardanos and Harmonia . According to Servius , however, Iasion was the son of the Italian king Korythos .
The name Elektras is also linked to the Palladion , the image of Pallas Athene revered in Troy . Accordingly, the image of Athena and Elektra would have been thrown over Ilion by Zeus, where Ilos built a temple for it. According to another report, Elektra brought the Palladion to Ilion as a consecration gift.
