Occultation of TYC 5303 00317 by (194) Prokne - 1999 November 2:
hours before the Prokne occultation it was still 100% thick overcast clouds as it had been all evening so I opted for my beauty sleep.
I monitored the Prokne appulse last night, and saw both star and asteroid.The images merged at about 11:58 UT. At about 12:14 I thought I saw them resolved again during fleeting moments of clarity, and they had definitely separated by 12:15.

 Daedala to Dentil Molding * People, Places, & Things * Greek Mythology: From the Iliad to the Fall of the Last ...
Philomela and her sister, Prokne (Procne), were Athenian princesses and the daughters of Pandion; Prokne married Tereus, the king of Thrake (Thrace).
Tereus attacked, or offended, Philomela and in order to keep his outrage a secret he cut out Philomela’s tongue and hid her away in an isolated hiding place; Philomela was able to weave her sad story onto a piece of needlework and send it to her sister.
Prokne found Philomela and the two of them killed Prokne’s son, Itys, and served the cooked body of the child to her evil husband, Tereus; Tereus tried to slay the sisters but all three were transformed into birds; Tereus became a hoopoe, Philomela became a swallow and Prokne became a nightingale.

 Deborah Lyons: GENDER AND IMMORTALITY -- CHAPTER TWO: Heroines and Mortals
These myths, in which the heroine is supplanted by another wife, frequently involve infanticide, as with Ino, Medea, and Prokne and Philomele.
In some familiar examples, Prokne and Philomele are transformed into birds, and Kallisto into a bear.
8 The myths of Prokne and Philomele, Agave, and the daughters of Minyas all provide examples of mothers who kill their children.
