She is usually called the daughter of the titans Atlas and the Pleione . Hyginus , who also adopts this origin in his work de astronomia , names her in one of his fabulae daughter of Ergeus.
Generally she is regarded as the wife of Poseidon , with whom she has Lycus as a son. As another son from this connection, Hyginus names Nykteus . Akesandros knows Triton and Eurypylos , the king of Cyrene , as sons of Kelaino . Eurypylos is also named as a son in a Scholion at Apollonios of Rhodes . Johannes Tzetzes in his Scholien zur Alexandra knows as sons another Lycus and a son named Chimaireus , both fathered with Prometheus .
