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]
