Philomela (mother of Patroclus)

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Philomela is identified by Gaius Julius Hyginus as the wife of Menoetius and mother of Patroclus. The former was one of the Argonauts and the latter a participant of the Trojan War. However one should note that Apollodorus of Athens listed three other wives of Menoetius and possible mothers of Patroclus:

Periopis, daughter of Pheres, founder of Pherae.
Polymele, daughter of Peleus, King of Phthia and an older half-sister to Achilles.
Sthenele, daughter of Acastus and Astydameia.
