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
  • ATLAS & PLEIONE (Hyginus Fabulae 192)
  • ATLAS & AITHRA (Musaeus Frag, Hyginus Astronomica 2.21, Ovid Fasti 5.164)
  • HYAS & BOIOTIA (Hyginus Astronomica 2.21)
  • PHAISYLE, KORONIS, KLEEIA, PHAIO, EUDORE (Hesiod Astronomy 2)
  • PHAESYLA, KORONIS, AMBROSIA, POLYXO, EUDORA (Hyginus Fabulae 192)
  • AMBROSIA, EUDORA, AESYLE (Eustathius on Homer's Iliad 1156)

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.
