In The Metamorphoses, this figure states that she has often read the names on empty tombs while giving an impassioned speech in which she reminds her husband that his father-in-law controls winds that may create deadly red lightning in the sky. This woman's story in The Metamorphoses features a digression in which Iris enters the cave from which Lethe springs to ask Morpheus to transform into an ethereal version of this woman's husband. This Queen of Trachis is unable to convince her husband to abandon his sea journey to the oracle of Delphi, causing her to incessantly worry about his doomed fate. After Zeus strikes down this character's husband for uxoriously calling her "Hera" during bouts of lovemaking, she is turned into a kingfisher. For 10 points, name this wife of Ceyx ["see-ix"] who gives her name to an English word referring to an idyllic past.
