Tros of
Troy and

Scamander .

Ilus ,
Assaracus ,

[3] and possibly,
Cleomestra .
[4] Cleopatra and Cleomestra probably refer to the same individual.
Cleopatra, daughter of
Boreas (North wind) and the
Athenian princess,

Phineus by whom he had a pair of sons, named either
Plexippus and
Pandion ,

Idomeneus .
[11]
[12]
Cleopatra and
Periboea of
Locris , two maidens sent to the Trojan temple of
Athena in retribution for
Ajax the Lesser's sacrilege. This was done because three years after the Locrians had regained their country, they suffered a plague. Then an oracle bade them to propitiate Athena at Troy, sending two maidens as suppliants for a thousand years. The first lot fell on Periboea and Cleopatra, and after their deaths others were sent.
