Clymene, an "ox-eyed" servant of
Helen of Troy.[17] She was a daughter of
Aethra[18] by
Hippalces,[19] thus half-sister to
Theseus and a distant relative to
Menelaus.[20] Clymene and her mother were taken by Helen to
Troy as handmaidens when Helen was carried off by
Paris.[21] Later on, she was among the captives during the
Trojan War along with Aethra,
Creusa,
Aristomache and
Xenodice.[22] After the taking of Troy, when the booty was distributed, Clymene was given to Acamas. Meanwhile, some accounts relate that she and her mother were released by
Acamas and
Demophon after the fall of Troy.[23]
Clymene, a Cretan princess as the daughter of King
Catreus, son of
Minos. She and her sister
Aerope were given to
Nauplius to be sold away, as Catreus feared the possibility of being killed by one of his children. Nauplius took Clymene to wife, and by him she became mother of
Palamedes,
Oeax and
Nausimedon.[24] In some account, the possible mother of these children was either
Hesione or
Philyra.[25]
