Procris
In Greek mythology, Procris (Ancient Greek: Πρόκρις, gen.: Πρόκριδος, romanized: Prókris, lit. 'dew' or 'morning dew') was an Athenian princess, the third daughter of Erechtheus, king of Athens and his wife, Praxithea. Homer mentions her in the Odyssey as one of the many dead spirits Odysseus saw in the Underworld. Sophocles wrote a tragedy called Procris that has been lost, as has a version contained in the Greek Cycle, but at least six different accounts of her story still exist.
