birth to a psychotic manaic.

>From Answer.com:

Merope (mr'p) , in Greek mythology. 
1 One of the Pleiades. She was the wife of Sisyphus, king of Corinth, and the mother of Glaucus. According to one legend she became the lost Pleiad because of the shame she felt for having married a mortal. 

Kind of along the lines of a Witch marrying a Muggle, hmm?

Glaucus was eventually devoured by his own horses, FYI.
