Greek An Oceanid, or ocean nymph;
one of the eldest daughters of the Titans Oceanus
and Tethys, and, as such, considered a secondgeneration
Titan; married Iapetus and with him was
the mother of still more Titans: Atlas, Prometheus,
Epimetheus, and Menoetius.
Clymene was also considered by some sources to
be the mother of Phaeton and his weeping sisters,
the Heliads, whose father was Helios, the Olympian
god who drove the sun across the sky.
Clymene was known as the goddess of both fame
and infamy. In some sources, she is named Asia, and
considered a goddess of the region Asia Minor, also
known as Anatolia.
