Gods from Greek Mythology...

ALCYONE

Also known as HALCYONE

ALCYONE: She comes in two versions.

No. 1 as one of the PLEIADES via POSEIDON.

No. 2 as being happily married to Cyx, who was son of the Morning Star but sadly mortal. When he was shipwrecked and drowned she was inconsolable.

As the shipwreck had been caused by ZEUS and HERA in a fit of jealousy at seeing a couple so much happier than them, they then took pity and turned the lovers into a couple of immortal kingfishers.
