Kleeia, κλεεια is a Greek name, used recently but based on Hesiod.
Concordance, Etymology, History
Name Variants
- κλεεια = kleeia (Greek)
- cleeia (Latinised)
Origin of Constellation
"Kleeia" is the name of one of the mythological Hyades (Ὑας Ὑαδες). The Latinized name from Aratus[1][2] (E. Poste, 1880;[3]) is often stated as "Cleeia", but the Greek name from Hesiod was κλεεια ("Kleeia"), see Theoi[4]. The reference to Aratus seems to be wrong, as the text of the Phaenomena does not contain the word.[5]
Variants in Greek mythology on the Hyades concern both the names of the sisters and their parents:
