Menoetius (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Menoetius (Ancient Greek: Μενοίτιος) referred to several different people:

1. A son of Iapetus and Clymene or Asia, and a brother of Atlas, Prometheus and Epimetheus, was killed by Zeus with a flash of lightning, in the War of the Titans, and banished to Tartarus.
2. One of Hades' shepherds on Erythea. He told Geryon when Heracles stole Geryon's herd.
3. Father of Patroclus and Myrto (by either Sthenele, Periopis or Polymele), son of Actor and Aegina. This Menoetius may have been one of the Argonauts.
