Cleia
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
in Greek mythology, was an Atlaitid, and the sister of Hyas, over whose death by a wild boar all the sisters were so grieved that out of sympathy the gods placed them among the stars as Hyades. They still weep over their brother, and the rise of this constellation with the sun is said to bring rain.
