Ctimene
Daughter of Laertes, sister of Odysseus
In Greek mythology, Ctimene (/ˈtɪmɪni/;[1] Ancient Greek: Κτιμένη, romanized: Ktiménē, Ancient Greek pronunciation: [ktiménɛː]) was an Ithacan princess as the daughter of King Laertes and Anticlea.[2]
Family
Ctimene was the younger sister of Odysseus, the legendary king of Ithaca.[3]
Mythology
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.
