Periclymene

In Greek mythology, Pericylmene or Periklymene (Ancient Greek: Περικλύμενη means 'renowned') may refer to two distinct characters:

• Periclymene, a Minyan princess as the daughter of King Minyas of Orchomenus^[1] and Euryanassa . She became the mother of Admetus,^[2][3] Lycurgus,^[4] Eidomene (wife of Amythaon),^[5] Periopis (mother of Patroclus)^[6] and Antigona (mother of Asterius),^[7] by King Pheres of Pherae. Periclymene or Clymene was also said to have Iphiclus, Alcimede^[3][8] and possibly Clymenus^[9] by Phylacus of Phylace. Other sources would identify Iphiclus as her son by Cephalus, son of Deion^[10] and brother of Phylacus.
• Periclymene, one of the maenads named in a vase painting.^[11]
