In Greek mythology, Philomela was transformed into a nightingale after being brutally silenced by her attacker, Tereus, who cut out her tongue. Although as a bird she could not sing in the traditional sense, her transformation allowed her to express her suffering and sorrow through haunting melodies. This symbolizes the theme of voicelessness and the struggle to communicate trauma, as her song became a way to convey her pain despite her physical inability to speak.
Because Tereus had cut out Philomela's tongue (so she couldn't tell anyone he had raped her), she wove a tapestry showing the events and sent it to her sister, Procne.
She became a swallow.
