Ctimene
In Greek mythology, Ctimene (/ˈtɪmɪni/ TIM-in-ee;[1] Ancient Greek: Κτιμένη, romanized: Ktiménē, lit. 'settled', 'founded' or 'built'[2]; Ancient Greek pronunciation: [ktiménɛː]) was an Ithacan princess as the daughter of King Laertes and Anticlea, and wife of Eurylochus.
Family
[edit]Ctimene was the younger sister of Odysseus, the legendary king of Ithaca and is the wife of Eurylochus.[3]
Mythology
[edit]Ctimene was raised by her parents alongside the servant Eumaeus who was treated almost as her equal. She was married off to Eurylochus of Same for a massive bride price.[4][5] Her husband accompanied Odysseus on his journey from Troy but, like all of Odysseus's men, died before reaching home.
