3. Atlas and Pleione
Pleione bore Atlas seven children – sisters called the Pleiades. Apparently, they were all “wooed” by other gods, (Merope bearing Pan to Hermes).
The Pleiades star cluster was clearly named after these sisters, who are also (half?) sisters to Calypso. Eventually, they learn of their father's fate, to hold the world on his shoulders, and they commit suicide.
