Menoetius



In Greek mythology, Menoetius referred to several different people.

#A son of Iapetus and Clymene. A glorious warrior who was insolent to Zeus. By some accounts he was smitten by Zeus with a lightning bolt on Mt. Triphyle, and in others he was merely crippled and banished to Tartarus. This Titan's name means "ruined strength".#One of Hades' shepherds on Erythea. He told Geryon when Heracles stole Geryon's herd.#Father of Patroclus and son of Actor. (Iliad, XI, 765)

In astronomy, (617) Patroclus I Menoetius is a moon of the asteroid 617 Patroclus.
