Ctimene (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Ctimene (/ˈtɪmɪni/;[1] Ancient Greek: Κτιμένη, romanized: Ktiménē, Ancient Greek pronunciation: [ktiménɛː]) or Ctemene (Κτημένης Ktemene) may refer to two distinct women:
- Ctimene or Ctemene,[2] mother of Meges, one of the Achaean Leaders, by King Phyleus of Dulichium, the son of King Augeas of Elis.[3] Otherwise, the mother of Meges was called either Ctesimache,[4] Agnete,[5] Eustyoche[6] or Timandra.[7] Ctemene might be the mother of Phyleus’ daughter Eurydameia who begot Euchenor and Cleitus by the seer Polyeidus.[8] This Ctimene may be the same below.
- Ctimene, daughter of Laertes and Anticlea, and younger sister of Odysseus.[9]
