Prokleia
Prokleia ( ancient Greek Προκλεία ) is in Greek mythology the daughter of Clytios , thus a granddaughter of the king of Troy , Laomedon , and cousin of Hector . Her brother was a caletor , according to Pausanias .
Prokleia was the first wife of Poseidon's son Cycnus , king of Colonae in Troas . She bore him the Tennes and the Hemithea . After Prokleia's death, Cycnus' second wife, Philonome, accused Tenne of having raped her out of a refused love. The siblings were put in a box at sea but rescued and named the island where they washed up, Tenedos .
According to others, Prokleia was not the granddaughter, but the daughter of Laomedon.
