Procne (; ) or Progne is a minor figure in Greek and Roman mythology. Traditionally she is an Athenian princess as the elder daughter of a king of Athens named Pandion. Procne was married to the king of Thrace, Tereus, who lusted after her sister Philomela. Tereus raped Philomela, cut out her tongue, and locked her away. When Procne discovered her sister's rape from a tapestry which Philomela wove and sent to her, she took revenge against her husband by murdering their only child, a boy named Itys, and serving him as food to Tereus. Procne's story serves as an origin myth for the nightingale,
