In Greek mythology Philomela (Ancient Greek: Φιλομήλα) is identified by Gaius Julius Hyginus as the wife of Menoetius and mother of Patroclus. The former was one of the Argonauts and the latter a participant of the Trojan War. However the Bibliotheca listed three other wives of Menoetius and possible mothers of Patroclus:

  • Periopis, daughter of Pheres, founder of Pherae.
  • Polymele, daughter of Peleus, King of Phthia and an older half-sister to Achilles.
  • Sthenele, daughter of Acastus and Astydameia.
