Polytechnus

The divine royal couple, slighted, sent them the goddess Eris to bring strife and discord in their home.At the time, Polytechnus was completing standing board for a chariot and Aëdon a tapestry, so they made a wager that whoever finished first would need to find the other a slave.Polytechnus was bitter about his wife's victory, so he went to Pandareus, and lied about Aëdon sending him to fetch her sister, Chelidon.Pandareus without suspecting a thing let Polytechnus take her with him, and he raped Chelidon, cut her hair short and gave her rugs to wear, terrorising her into silence.Aëdon then cut her son Itys down, and served him to Polytechnus while she and Chelidon ran to their father and explained what had happened.
