In Greek mythology, Clymene or Klymene (Ancient Greek: Κλυμένη, "famous") is an Oceanid, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys. Hesiod names her among the Oceanids who nurture youths and makes her the wife of the Titan Iapetus and mother of Atlas, Menoetius, Prometheus, and Epimetheus. She is distinct from other figures of the same name, including the Minyan Clymene and the Cretan daughter of Catreus.

I.Oceanid consort of Iapetus
Hesiod's Theogony lists Clymene among the three thousand Oceanids, holy daughters of Oceanus and Tethys who, with Apollo and the Rivers, have youths in their keeping across the earth. The same poem then names neat-ankled Clymene as the Oceanid whom Iapetus took to wife; she bore Atlas, Menoetius, Prometheus, and Epimetheus — the house through which fire and the first woman reached mankind. Hyginus's genealogical preface likewise makes Clymene mother of Atlas, Epimetheus, and Prometheus by Iapetus (often omitting Menoetius).
Apollodorus and some other authors relate the same maternity of Asia rather than Clymene. A less common genealogy makes Clymene mother of Deucalion by Prometheus, and she may be the Clymene named as mother of Mnemosyne by Zeus. In some myths she appears among the nymphs in the train of Cyrene.
