Clytoneus
In Greek mythology, Clytoneus (Ancient Greek: Κλυτόνηος or Κλυτονήου) or Clytonaeus may refer to two different individuals:
- Clytoneus or Clytius,[1] son of Naubolus of Argos and father of the Argonaut Nauplius II, father of Palamedes.[2][3]
- Clytoneus, a prince of Corcyra as son of King Alcinous and Arete.[4] Thus, he was the brother of Nausicaa,[5] Halius and Laodamas. Clytoneus and his brother are the winners of the foot-racing contest in honour of Odysseus.[6]
