Hecuba
Hecuba (; also ''Hecabe'', ''Hécube''; ''Hekábē'', ) was a queen in Greek mythology, the wife of King Priam of Troy during the Trojan War,〔''The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language'', Fourth Edition: ("Hecuba" )〕 with whom she had 19 children. These children included several major characters of Homer's ''Iliad'' such as the warriors Hector and Paris and the prophetess Cassandra.
== Parents ==
Ancient sources vary as to the parentage of Hecuba.〔Frazer's note 21 on Pseudo-Apollodorus, ''Bibliotheca'', 3. 12. 5. In: Apollodorus, The Library, with an English Translation by Sir James George Frazer, F.B.A., F.R.S. in 2 Volumes. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1921.〕 According to Homer, Hecuba was the daughter of King Dymas of Phrygia,〔''Iliad'', 16. 715〕 but Euripides〔Euripides, ''Hecuba'', 3〕 and Virgil〔Virgil, ''Aeneid 7. 320; 10. 705'',〕 write of her as the daughter of the Thracian king Cisseus. The mythographers Pseudo-Apollodorus and Hyginus leave open the question which of the two was her father, with Pseudo-Apollodorus adding a third alternate option: Hecuba's parents could as well be the river god Sangarius and Metope.〔Pseudo-Apollodorus, Bibliotheca, 3. 12. 5〕〔Hyginus, ''Fabulae'', 91, 111, 249〕 Some versions from non-extant works are summarized by a scholiast on Euripides' ''Hecuba'':〔Scholia on Euripides, ''Hecuba'', 3〕 according to those, she was a daughter of Dymas or Sangarius by the Naiad Euagora, or by Glaucippe the daughter of Xanthus (Scamander?); the possibility of her being a daughter of Cisseus is also discussed. A scholiast on Homer relates that Hecuba's parents were either Dymas and the nymph Eunoe or Cisseus and Telecleia;〔Scholia on ''Iliad'', 16. 718, referring to Pherecydes and Athenion for the two versions respectively〕 the latter option would make her a full sister of Theano, which is also noted by the scholiast on Euripides cited above.
According to Suetonius in ''The Twelve Caesars'', the emperor Tiberius pestered scholars with obscure questions about ancient mythology, with one of his favorites being "Who was Hecuba's mother?"〔Suetonius, ''The Twelve Caesars'', Chapter 2 (Tiberius), paragraph 72〕
