Philomela (mother of Patroclus)

In Greek mythology, Philomela (Φιλομήλα) 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, the Bibliotheca listed three other wives of Menoetius and possible mothers of Patroclus:
 * 1) Periopis, daughter of Pheres, founder of Pherae
 * 2) Polymele, daughter of Peleus, King of Phthia and an older half-sister to Achilles and
 * 3) Sthenele, daughter of Acastus and Astydameia.

In some accounts, Damocrateia, daughter of Aegina and Zeus was also called the wife of Menoetius and mother of Patroclus.
