Philomela (mother of Patroclus)
In
Menoetius and mother of Patroclus.[1][2] The former was one of the Argonauts and the latter a participant of the Trojan War. However, the Bibliotheca listed three other wives of Menoetius and possible mothers of Patroclus:[3]
- Pheres, founder of Pherae
- Polymele, daughter of Peleus, King of Phthia and an older half-sister to Achilles and
- Sthenele,[5][6] daughter of Acastus and Astydameia.
In some accounts, Damocrateia, daughter of Aegina and Zeus was also called the wife of Menoetius and mother of Patroclus.[7]
