When the Argonauts sailed away they became disorientated and accidentally returned to Kyzikos's kingdom in the dead of night. Kyzikos thought that his barbaric neighbors were attacking and led his army against the Argonauts King Kyzikos was killed in the fray.Kyzikos had just married Kleite (Cleite) and the two young lovers had not consummated their vows when Kleite learned of her husband's death, she placed a noose around her neck and ended her life.
