 | | 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. |
