In Greek mythology, Alectryon (Homer) or Alector (later handbooks) is the Boeotian father of Leitus, captain of the Boeotians at Troy. Diodorus calls him Electryon among the sons of Itonus; Tzetzes expands the house with further Boeotian captains by different mothers. He is kept distinct from Alectryon the youth turned into a rooster by Ares, and from other Alectors.

I.Father of Leitus
Homer names great-souled Alectryon only as patronymic when Hector wounds Leitus on the wrist in close fight and drives him from the battle (Iliad 17). Leitus had led twelve ships from Hypothebes and the other Boeotian towns in the Catalogue of Ships.
Diodorus names Electryon among the sons of Itonus and father of Leitus. Tzetzes, enlarging the stemma, makes Alector father also of Clonius, Arcesilaus, and Prothoenor by different mothers — Polybule for Leitus, Cleobule for Arcesilaus, Arteis for Prothoenor, and Acteis for Clonius — figures Diodorus treats as nephews rather than sons.
II.Homonym care
The atlas id alectryon-boeotian is the Boeotian father of Leitus alone. Distinct from alector-anaxagoras (Argive son of Anaxagoras), from the Elean and Spartan Alectors on the Wikipedia Alector roll, and from Alectryon (mythology) — the youth Ares turned into a rooster for falling asleep while guarding Aphrodite.
