In [[Greek mythology]], '''Clymenus''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|l|ɪ|m|ᵻ|n|ə|s}}; {{langx|grc|Κλύμενος|Klúmenos|}} means "notorious" or "renowned"<ref>Robin Hard. ''The Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology (2004)''<br /></ref>) may refer to multiple individuals:

*Clymenus, a son of [[Phoroneus]] by either [[Cerdo (mythology)|Cerdo]] or [[Teledice]]<ref>[[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+2.1.1&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0022:book=0:chapter=0&highlight=Teledice 2.1.1]</ref> or [[Cinna (mythology)|Cinna]].

*Clymenus was the son of [[Helios]] and king of [[Boeotia]]. In a variant genealogy, he is the father of the children of the [[Oceanid]] [[Merope (Heliades)|Merope]] (usually said to be the offspring of [[Helios]] and [[Clymene (mythology)|Clymene]]). These include [[Phaethon|Phaëton]] and the [[Heliades]]: [[Merope (Heliades)|Merope]], Helie, [[Aegle (mythology)|Aegle]], [[Lampetia]], [[Phoebe (Heliades)|Phoebe]], Aetherie, and [[Dioxippe (Heliades)|Dioxippe]]. Sometimes [[Phaethousa]] is included in this number.<ref>[[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], Fabulae [https://topostext.org/work/206#154 154]</ref> The names "Clymenus" and "Merope" in Hyginus' version, which is not followed otherwise, may have resulted from incidental gender swap of the names of the Oceanid Clymene and her mortal husband [[Merops (mythology)|Merops]].

*Clymenus, son of [[Cardys]] and a descendant of Heracles of Ida.<ref>Not to be confused with [[Heracles]] the hero; cf. [[Strabo]], 8.3.30: "What is more, the Olympian Games are an invention of theirs [the Daktyloi]; and it was they who celebrated the first Olympiads, for one should disregard the ancient stories both of the founding of the temple and of the establishment of the games - some alleging that it was Herakles, one of the Idaian Daktyloi, who was the originator of both, and others, that it was Herakles the son of Alkmene and Zeus, who also was the first to contend in the games and win the victory; for such stories are told in many ways, and not much faith is to be put in them."</ref> He became king of [[Olympia, Greece|Olympia]] but was deposed by [[Endymion (mythology)|Endymion]].<ref>Pausanias, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+5.8.1&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:book=0:chapter=0&highlight=Clymenus 5.8.1]</ref> He was credited with founding the temple of [[Athena]] Cydonia in Phrixa, [[Ancient Elis|Elis]].<ref>Pausanias, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Paus.+6.21.6&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0160:book=0:chapter=0&highlight=Clymenus 6.21.6]</ref>
