Clymene (wife Of Iapetus)
In Greek mythology, Clymene or Klymene (; , ''Kluménē'', feminine form of Κλύμενος, meaning "famous") is the name of one of the three thousand Oceanid nymphs, usually the wife of Iapetus and mother by him of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas and Menoetius. Mythology Clymene is the daughter of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. She married her uncle Iapetus and became by him the mother of Prometheus, Epimetheus, Atlas and Menoetius. Other authors relate the same of her sister Asia. A less common genealogy makes Clymene the wife of Prometheus and the mother of Deucalion by him.

Clymene (mother Of Phaethon)
In Greek mythology, Greek and Roman mythology, Clymene or Klymene (; ) is an Oceanid nymph who was loved by the sun-god Helios and became the mother by him of Phaethon and the Heliades. In most versions, Clymene is the one to reveal to Phaethon his divine parentage and encourage him to seek out his father, and even drive his solar chariot to catastrophic results. Etymology The Greek proper name (''Kluménē'') is the feminine form of (''Klúmenos''), meaning "famous". In turn, derives from the verb ', meaning 'to hear, to understand', itself from the Proto-Indo-European root ''wikt:Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/ḱlew-, *ḱlew-'', which means 'to hear'. It thus shares the same root and meaning as "Clytie (Oceanid), Clytie", another Oceanid nymph whom Helios loved. Family Clymene is one of the three hundred Oceanid nymph daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys (mythology), Tethys. Although she shares name and parentage with Clymene (wife of Iapetus), Clymene, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

104 Klymene
104 Klymene is a large, dark Themistian asteroid that was discovered by J. C. Watson on September 13, 1868, and named after one of the many Clymenes in Greek mythology. It is orbiting the Sun with a period of 5.60 years and an eccentricity of 0.16. The orbital plane is inclined by 2.8° to the plane of the ecliptic. It is classified as a C-type asteroid, indicating it probably has a carbonaceous composition. The spectra indicates the presence of aqueous-altered minerals on the surface based upon a sharp feature at a wavelength of 3 μm, and, as of 2015, is the only member of the Themis family found to show this absorption. Based upon measurements made using adaptive optics at the W. M. Keck Observatory, this object may have a bi-lobed shape with a length of 163 ± 3 km and width of 103 ± 5 km, for an average dimension of 133 km. This asteroid is located near the region of the Themis family but itself considered a background asteroid using HCM-ana ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clymene Dolphin
The Clymene dolphin (''Stenella clymene''), in older texts known as the short-snouted spinner dolphin, is a dolphin endemic to the Atlantic Ocean. It is the only confirmed case of hybrid speciation in marine mammals, descending from the spinner dolphin and the striped dolphin. Taxonomy The Clymene dolphin was first formally described by John Edward Gray in 1846, although, unusually, he did not assign it its current name until four years later, in 1850. From then on, until a reassessment in 1981, the Clymene dolphin was regarded as a subspecies of the spinner dolphin (''Stenella longirostris''). In 1981, Perrin ''et al.'' asserted the Clymene's existence as separate species. Until this time, because Clymenes are relatively remote and were regarded as very similar to the more accessible spinners, they were never heavily studied. Anatomical and behavioral traits suggested that this species is a hybrid of the spinner dolphin and striped dolphin (''Stenella coeruleoalba''), and DN ...
