Homadus, Alcyone and Aeolus, Greek mythology for (95626) 2002 GZ32, (250112) 2002 KY14 and (386723) 2009 YE7
Homadus was one of the centaurs that died during the battle between Heracles and the centaurs. This centaur also tried to rape Alcyone, who has a mythological nearness to Hylonome. Alcyone was the daughter of Aeolus and married Ceyx.
Ceyx was going to consult an oracle, but his ship sinked in a terrible storm and he drown. Soon after, Morpheus (god of dreams) disguised as Ceyx appeared to Alcyone as an apparition where she saw the body washed up onshore. Immediately she threw herself into the sea in her grief. Out of compassion, the gods changed them both into halcyon birds.
When Alcyone (as a kingfisher) laid her eggs and made her nest on the beach, Aeolus (god of winds) restrained the winds and calmed the waves so she could do so in safety. The phrase "halcyon days" --the seven days each year (either side of theshortest day of the year)-- has since become to refer to any peaceful time. Its proper meaning, however, is that of a lucky break, or a bright interval set in the midst of adversity; just as the days of calm and mild weather are set in the height of winter for the sake of the kingfishers' egglaying.
