Clymene is the daughter of theTitansOceanus andTethys.[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 sisterAsia.[8] A less common genealogy makes Clymene the wife of Prometheus and the mother ofDeucalion by him.[9] She may also be the Clymene referred to as the mother ofMnemosyne byZeus.[10] In some myths, Clymene was one of the nymphs in the train ofCyrene.[11]
Although she shares name and parentage withClymene, one ofHelios's lovers, who is also a daughter ofOceanus andTethys (and thus one of her sisters and fellow Oceanid), she is distinguished from her.[12]
^Although usually the daughter of Hyperion and Theia, as inHesiod,Theogony371–374, in theHomeric Hymn to Hermes (4),99–100, Selene is instead made the daughter of Pallas the son of Megamedes.
