Clytius

Clytius (Ancient Greek: Κλυτίος), also spelled Klythios, Klytios, Clytios, and Klytius, is the name of multiple people in Greek mythology:

Clytius, one of the Giants, sons of Gaia, killed by Hecate during the Gigantomachy, the battle of the Giants versus the Olympian gods.[1][2]
Clytius, an alternate name for Clytoneus, the son of Naubolus of Argos and father of Nauplius II.[3]
Clytius, son of Agriopas and grandson of Cyclops. He fought in the war between Eumolpus and Eleusis and fell alongside Eumolpus' son Immaradus and Egremus, son of Eurynomus.[4]
Clytius, an Athenian, father of Pheno who married Lamedon. Ianiscus, descendant of this Clytius, became king in Sicyon after Adrastus.[5]
Clytius, a man killed by Perseus in the battle against Phineus.[6]
Clytius, a warrior in the army of Dionysus during the god's Indian campaign. He was killed by Corymbasus.[7]
Clytius, an Argonaut and an Oechalian prince as son of King Eurytus[8] and Antiope[9] or Antioche,[10] and thus brother to Iole, Toxeus, Deioneus, Molion, Didaeon and Iphitos.[11] According to Hyginus, he was killed by Aeetes, if the text is not corrupt;[12] according to Diodorus Siculus, however, he was killed by Heracles during the latter's war against Eurytus.[8]
Clytius, in a rare version of the myth, a son of Phineus and brother of Polymedes: the two brothers killed Phineus' second, Phrygian, wife (Idaea?) at the instigation of Cleopatra.[13]
Clytius, son of Laomedon, brother of Priam, and an elder of Troy.[14] By Laothoe,[15] he was the father of Caletor,[16] Procleia[17] and Pronoe or Pronome, of whom the latter was the mother of Polydamas by Panthous.[18]
Clytius, son of Alcmaeon and Arsinoe or Alphesiboea. He moved from Psophis to Elis in order to escape his mother's vengeful brothers. The Clytidae, a clan of soothsayers, claimed descent from him.[19] According to Stephanus of Byzantium, his mother was Triphyle, the eponym of Triphylia.[20]
Clytius, each of the three namesakes among the suitors of Penelope: one from Dulichium, another from Same, and the third from Zacynthus.[21]
Clytius, an attendant of Telemachus in Homer's Odyssey, the father of Telemachus' friend Peiraeus.[22] Dolops, a Greek warrior killed by Hector in the Iliad, could also have been his son.[23]
Clytius, one of the sons of Aeolus who followed Aeneas to Italy and was killed by Turnus.[24]
Clytius, father of Euneus (one of those killed in the battle between Aeneas and Turnus).[25]
Clytius, a young soldier in the army of Turnus who was loved by Cydon in Virgil's Aeneid, and was killed by Aeneas.[26]
Clytius, father of Acmon and Menestheus from Lyrnessus, Phrygia.[27]

To these can be added several figures not mentioned in extant literary sources and only known from various vase paintings:[28][29]

Clytius, a companion of Peleus present at the wrestling match between Peleus and Atalanta
Clytius, an arms-bearer of Tydeus present at the scene of murder of Ismene, on a vase from Corinth
Clytius, a barbarian-looking participant of a boar hunt, possibly the Calydonian hunt, on the Petersburg vase #1790
Clytius, a man standing in front of the enthroned Hygieia, on a vase by the Meidias Painter
Clytius, an epithet of Apollo, in an inscription
