She is closely connected with the old constellation worship and the religion of Samothrace, the chief seat of the Cabeiri (q.v.), where she was generally supposed to dwell.
By Zeus she was the mother of Dardanus, Iasion (or Eetion), and Harmonia; but in the Italian tradition, which represented Italy as the original home of the Trojans, Dardanus was her son by a king of Italy named Corythus.
In her grief at the destruction of the city she plucked out her hair and was changed into a comet; in another version Electra and her six sisters had been placed among the stars as the Pleiades, and the star which she represented lost its brilliancy after the fall of Troy.

 Sample Chapter for Reed, J.: Virgil's Gaze: Nation and Poetry in the Aeneid.
The justification that the Aeneid offers for this schema and this migration furnishes a concrete example of the way the poem avoids the positive sense of a national identity—indeed, the overarching and primordially significant example, as expounding the deepest origin of Aeneas’ people and the reason for his divinely ordained settlement in Italy.
As Dardanus’ origin and the justification of Aeneas’ destination, Corythus should refer to Rome or at least Rome’s corner of Latium (where Aeneas will build his settlement, Lavinium); yet however the name is understood, it rather leads us away from Rome.
More fundamentally, on the level of narrative, metaphor is reduced to metonymy: what on the terms accepted by the poem should have been a replication, a return to the same, turns out to be a contingency, a near return to something adjacent.

 Dardanus Information
However another account by Virgil in his Aeneid (3.163f), has Aeneas in a dream learn from his ancestral Penates that "Dardanus and Father Iasius" and the Penates themselves originally came from Hesperia which was afterward renamed as Italy.
This tradition holds that Dardanus was a Tyrrhenian prince, and that his mother Electra was married to Corythus.
Other accounts make no mention of Arcadia or Hesperia, though they sometimes mention a flood and speak of Dardanus sailing on a hide-raft (as part of the flood story?) from Samothrace to the Troad near Abydos.

Rhoetus could not contain his delight, saying: “May the rest of the crowd on your side be as formidable as that!” and he renewed his attack with the half-burned branch, and with three or four heavy blows broke through the joints of his skull until the bones sank into the fluid brain.’
When Corythus, one of these, fell, whose first downy hair covered his cheeks, Euagrus cried: “What glory is there on your part in shedding the blood of a boy?”
