Answer 2

Answer:

Procne sought revenge by serving up her son Itys for Tereus's supper. On learning what Procne had done, Tereus pursued the two sisters with an ax. But the gods took pity and changed them all into birds—Tereus into a hoopoe (or hawk), Procne into a nightingale, and Philomela into a swallow.
