Clymene is a figure from Greek mythology, known as one of the Oceanids, the daughters of the Titan Oceanus and the Titaness Tethys. She is often associated with the sea and is sometimes depicted as a goddess of fame and renown. Clymene is also known for her role as the mother of Phaethon, who famously attempted to drive the sun chariot. In addition to her mythological significance, Clymene's name has been used in various contexts, including astronomy. The name is given to a minor planet, Clymene, which orbits the Sun. This celestial body is part of the Asteroid Belt and was discovered in the late 19th century.
