She married Pandareus, who hailed from Asia Minor, and had three daughters by him; Aëdon, Cleothera and Merope.
[3] After her husband failed to steal a golden dog from Zeus, he and Harmothoë fled to Sicily where they perished miserably.
[1][4][5][6] Following their deaths, Aphrodite, Hera and Athena took care of their daughters Cleothera and Merope, but when Aphrodite tried to find them husbands, strong winds carried them away and they became handmaidens to the Furies; Aëdon meanwhile was wed to Zethus and bore him a son named Itylus.
[1] In a myth preserved by Antoninus Liberalis (who does not confirm the identity of Pandareus's wife as Harmothoë), Aëdon's husband Polytechnus rapes and forces the virgin Chelidon into slavedom.
The two sisters manage to escape and find shelter with their parents, while their servants tie up Polytechnus, smear him with honey and leave him to the insects.
