Klymene (Nereid)
Klymene ( Greek Κλυμένη ) is a nereid in Greek mythology .
She is one of the fifty daughters of Nereus and Doris . Their name appears in Nereidenkatalog in the Iliad of Homer but also in the catalog of the Roman mythographers, Hyginus . It is also called Virgil in the Georgica of the Roman poet . It is probably identical to that Clymene , which, according to Pausanias, had their own altar in Athens together with Diktys as the "savior of Perseus " .
