Damocrateia Explained
In Greek mythology, Damocrateia (Ancient Greek: Δαμοκράτεια) was the daughter of Aegina and Zeus, and thus, sister of Aeacus, King of Aegina. She became the mother of Patroclus by her half-brother Menoetius, son of King Actor of Opus.[1] Otherwise, the hero was called the son of Philomela[2] [3] or Polymele, Sthenele[4] or Periopis.[5]
