Talk:Cilla (mythology)

Two characters or one?
According to the article there were two Trojan women, contemporaries of Priam and Thymoites, both named Cilla. I have the impression that they are the same mythological character, presented differently through two mythological traditions that differ in some details.

This is what I think the stories of the two traditions have in common: And here is how they differ: --Lambiam 18:52, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Cilla is married to Thymoites;
 * Cilla bears a son, Munippos, on the same say that Hecuba bears Paris;
 * Priam kills Munippos in a tragic misinterpretation of an oracle's prediction.
 * 1) In one tradition, Thymoites is a brother of Priam and so Cilla is Priam's sister-in-law (actually in two ways: also through being a sister of Priam's wife Hecuba).
 * 2) In a second tradition, Cilla is a sister of Priam (and, like Priam, a child of Laomedon), and so Thymoites is Priam's brother-in-law
