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:
| parents | sisters |

Transfer and Transformation of the Constellation
Religion/ Tales/ Mythology
mnemonic tales and cultural significance
IAU Working Group on Star Names (WGSN)
The name was proposed to WGSN in 2023. Neither Cleeia nor Kleeia appears among asteroid names. In recent years, the name "Cleeia" has been attached particularly to delta^3 Tau, but it is unclear when this attachment occured.
