[31] while according to others, Periclymene and Eteoclymene were the names of her sisters.
[32] Alternately, this Clymene was the wife of
Iasus and mother by him of

[33] She was one of the souls encountered by
Odysseus in his journey to the
underworld .

[38]
Clymene, one of the daughters of King
Aeolus of
Lipara , the keeper of the winds.
[39] She had six brothers namely:

Agenor ,
Euchenor ,
Klymenos ,
Xouthos ,
Macareus , and five sisters:
Kallithyia ,
Eurygone ,
Lysidike ,

[40] According to various accounts, Aeolus yoked in marriage his sons and daughters, including Clymene, in order to preserve concord and affection among them.
