Phoenix describes fair Cleopatra as Meleager’s wife and as Alcyone, named for her mother’s halcyon-like mourning.
“wedded wife fair Cleopatra, who was daughter of Marpessa daughter of Euenus, and of Ides the man then living. He it was who took his bow and faced King Apollo himself for fair Marpessa’s sake; her father and mother then named her Alcyone, because her mother had mourned with the plaintive strains of the halcyon-bird”
Phoenix says sorrowing Cleopatra describes slaughter, fire, and captivity until Meleager is moved.
“his sorrowing wife detailed the horrors that befall those whose city is taken; she reminded him how the men are slain, and the city is given over to the flames, while the women and children are carried into captivity; when he heard all this, his heart was touched”
