Clymene is the daughter of the
TitansOceanus and
Tethys.[4][5][6] She married her uncle Iapetus and became by him the mother of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas and Menoetius.[7] Other authors relate the same of her sister
Asia.[8] A less common genealogy makes Clymene the wife of Prometheus and the mother of
Deucalion by him.[9] She may also be the Clymene referred to as the mother of
Mnemosyne by
Zeus.[10] In some myths, Clymene was one of the nymphs in the train of
Cyrene.[11]
Although she shares name and parentage with
Clymene, one of
Helios's lovers, who is also a daughter of
Oceanus and
Tethys (and thus one of her sisters and fellow Oceanid), she is distinguished from her.[12]
^Although usually the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, as in
Hesiod, Theogony371–374, in the Homeric Hymn to Hermes (4),
99–100, Selene is instead made the daughter of Pallas the son of Megamedes.
