[4] In another account, he was said to have had womanly white skin and fair hair, which was why he received his name that meant "swan".
[7] Dictys Cretensis mentions three more children of Cycnus: two sons, Cobis and Corianus, and a daughter Glauce.
When he found that his children had survived and were reigning at Tenedos, he sailed there intending to reconcile with them, but Tenes cut the anchor rope of his ship.
[17] Later, the Greek army invaded Cycnus's kingdom, but the people of Colonae implored them to spare the city.
The Greek leaders agreed, on condition that Cobis, Corianus and Glauce be handed over to them, and made a truce with the citizens.
