Clytoneus

In Greek mythology, Clytoneus (Ancient Greek: Κλυτόνηος or Κλυτονήου) or Clytonaeus may refer to two different individuals:

• Clytoneus or Clytius, son of Naubolus of Argos and father of the Argonaut Nauplius II, father of Palamedes.
• Clytoneus, a prince of Corcyra as son of King Alcinous and Arete. Thus, he was the brother of Nausicaa, Halius and Laodamas. Clytoneus and his brother are the winners of the foot-racing contest in honour of Odysseus.
