In Greek mythology, Damocrateia ( Ancient Greek: Δαμοκράτεια) was the daughter of Aegina and Zeus, and thus, sister of Aeacus, King of Aegina. She became the mother of Patroclus by her half-brother Menoetius, son of King Actor of Opus. [1] Otherwise, the hero was called the son of Philomela [2] [3] or Polymele, Sthenele [4] or Periopis.
