 CWS Talk! - Why I Have put Pandion and Ambulocetus On My Ignore List and Urge Others to Also
Endlessly defending the use of this term is a huge waste of time and has killed several threads that become totally diverted into semantics and the original post is lost and forgotten.
Ambulocetus backs up Pandion all the time, even when Pandion has been shown to be totally worng and Pandion returns the favor to Ambulocetus.
Ambulocetus has a tendency to make ridiculous claims that he refuses to admit are falacious but still repeats, like the claim that the Celts used a steel 'ploughshare' before the Roman conquest of Gaul which is about 1800 years before the commonly accepted date of Deere inventing the steel plow.

 Procne and Philomela
Now, Apollodorous doesn't SAY anything about the Gods punishing him for this kind of marriage (the only such marriage in Greek legend, according to the Perseus Project), but I think that is a possibility considering what happened to his family.
But Pandion wasn't much of a father, he was much more interested in his kingdom, and when Athens went to war with Abdacus, Pandion called on Tereus, his neighbor in Thrace, and asked for help.
Pandion, being the good diplomat and smart businessman that he was, decided that he should reward Tereus as well as consolidate a relationship with him, and since he was a horrible father who saw his daughters primarily as bargaining tools, he gave his daughter Procne to Tereus in marriage.

 Osprey   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
"Pandion's sea eagle." Pandion was the king of Athens in Greek mythology and was poorly chosen as a scientific name for the osprey.
The osprey should have been named Tereus, since Pandion was only marginally involved in the story and Tereus was the one transformed into a raptor.
This was the result of an error in transliteration (changing the Greek alphabet into the English alphabet) by Savigny.
