In Greek mythology, the name Clytie (Κλυτίη, Ionic) or Clytia (Κλυτία, Attic and other dialects) may refer to:

  • Clytie (Oceanid), known for her unrequited love for Helios.
  • Clytie or Phthia, concubine of Amyntor, the cause of a conflict between him and his son Phoenix.[1][2]
  • Clytie, possible mother of Myrtilus by Hermes.[3]

They received gifts from other Olympic goddesses as well: wisdom and beauty from Hera, high stature from Artemis, skill in handiwork from Athena. When Aphrodite left for Olympus to arrange for the sisters to get happily married in the future, the girls, left without supervision, were abducted by the Harpies and given by them to the Erinyes.[4][5]
  • Clytie, one of the Niobids.[6]
  • Clytie, daughter of Amphidamas and possible mother of Pelops by Tantalus.[7]
