“Cleothera was born to Pandareus and Harmothoë who were from either in western Asia Minor or Crete, but her parents were soon forced to flee to Athens and then the island of Sicily when her father incurred the wrath of the king of the gods Zeus by trying to steal from him a sacred golden dog that guarded his temple in Crete.”
