Philomela (mother of Patroclus)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Greek mythology, Philomela (Ancient Greek: Φιλομήλα) is identified by Gaius Julius Hyginus as the wife of 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] include Periopis,[4] Polymele, and Sthenele.[5][6]
