In Greek mythology, Periclymene or Periklymene (Ancient Greek: Περικλύμενη means 'renowned') may refer to two distinct characters:
- Periclymene, a Minyan princess as the daughter of King Minyas of Orchomenus[1] and Euryanassa . She became the mother of Admetus,[2][3] Lycurgus,[4] Eidomene (wife of Amythaon),[5] Periopis (mother of Patroclus)[6] and Antigona (mother of Asterius),[7] by King Pheres of Pherae. Periclymene or Clymene was also said to have Iphiclus, Alcimede[3] and possibly Clymenus[8] by Phylacus of Phylace. Other sources would identify Iphiclus as her son by Cephalus, son of Deion[9] and brother of Phylacus.
- Periclymene, one of the maenads named in a vase painting.[10]
