Electra

(Ἠλέκτρα) - A Pleiad star-nymph of Mount Saon on the island of Samothrace who was loved by Zeus. Zeus coupled with her, and she bore him several notable children, including Emathion, Iasion (the founder of the Samothracian Mysteries), and Dardanus, the mythical ancestor of the Trojan royal family. Legend states that when the city of Troy later fell to the Greeks during the Trojan War, Electra pulled her hair out in absolute grief and left her place in the Pleiades constellation, becoming a dim "lost Pleiad" or a trailing comet.
